Windows Sockets Compliance

Windows httpd is fully compliant with the Windows Sockets 1.1 Specification (WinSock 1.1). It uses the recommended "asynchronous select" API provided by WinSock to minimize the impact of network I/O on your system.

WinSock provides compatibility with a variety of Windows TCP/IP packages. However, there are some packages out there which do not implement all of the features, and others which have bugs. Windows httpd has a "fallback" mode for its network I/O that uses only the simplest features of WinSock. The fallback mode does not permit multi-threading.
