About

mod_aclr2 is an Apache web server module that automates serving static content with NGINX as a reverse proxy.

It works by intercepting static file responses in Apache, adding the internal X-Accel-Redirect header, and handing the request back to NGINX for direct file delivery while dynamic requests continue to be processed by Apache.

mod_python is an Apache web server module that embeds the Python interpreter within the server, allowing Python code to run many times faster than traditional CGI by executing inside persistent Apache processes.

It provides a Python API for direct access to Apache internals, keeps interpreter state between requests, supports request handlers and URL mapping, offers session handling with memory or dbm storage, and enables authentication and authorization logic within Python code.
