Apache HTTP Server | httpd | 2.0.43 | Maintainers |
| Everybody knows Apache, the most deployed HTTP server on the Internet. Apache 2.0 features native IPv6 and https support. |  |
Apache HTTP Server | httpd | 1.3.27 | Motoyuki Konno |
| 1.3.x is still the most deployed version of Apache on the Internet, but we strongly recommend considering IPv6 support as good reason for jumping to 2.0.x. |  |
tiny/turbo/throttling HTTP Server | thttpd | 2.20c | Maintainers |
| thttpd is a simple, small, portable, fast, and secure HTTP server. | |
Boa Webserver | boa | 0.94.13 | Maintainers |
| Boa currently seems to be the favorite web server in the embedded crowd, and embedded Linux, despite all the marketing hype, really is a big deal. | |
webfs | webfs | 1.19 | Maintainers |
| Webfs is a simple http server for purely static content. You can use it to serve the content of a ftp server via http for example. It is also nice to export some files the quick way by starting a http server in a few seconds, without editing some config file first. | |
publicfile | publicfile | 0.52 | Felix Von Leitner |
| publicfile supplies files to the public through HTTP and FTP |  |
bozohttpd | bozohttpd | 20030622 | Maintainers |
| bozohttpd is a small and secure http version 1.1 server. Its main feature is the lack of features, reducing the code size and improving verifiability. It supports CGI/1.1, HTTP/1.1, HTTP/1.0, HTTP/0.9, ~user translations, virtual hosting support, as well as multiple IP-based servers on a single machine. It also supports the IPv6 protocol. It has no configuration file by design. | |
leahhttpd | leahhttpd | 0.04 | Maintainers |
| The leahhttpd project aims towards developing a webserver which does everything a webhoster would need and want, efficiently and quickly. Efficiently would also entail fast data transfer, high throughput and load, support to run on as many architectures and platforms as possible (within reason), and support for new technologies and standards (such as IPv6). LeahHTTPd is not intended to be easy to configure or setup, nor is it intended to have plenty of bells and whistles to handle things that should stay in the CGI world. | |
screws | screws | 0.51 | Maintainers |
| Screws is an experimental web server written with extensibility in mind. It's designed in a little core that processes connections and petitions, setenv the spected values and calls an external program or script that processes this and shows what it wants. By this way it's possible to customize every answer of the web server, and extend it as we want in a simple way. | |
| HTTP client (e.g. the web browser) | ||||||
mozilla | mozilla | since 1.4 | Maintainers |
| Mozilla is world-class open source browser that is designed from the ground up to support open internet standards across a variety of platforms including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, OS/2, Solaris, and many more.

Mozilla 1.4 doesn't fully support IPv6 on the Win32 platform. | |
firefox | firefox | since 1.0 | Maintainers |

konqueror | KDE | 3.1.2 | Maintainers |

lynx | lynx | 2.8.4 | Maintainers |
| Lynx is a text browser for the World Wide Web which runs on Un*x, VMS, Windows 95/98/NT (but not 3.1x), on DOS (386 or higher) and OS/2 EMX. Ports to Mac are in beta test. | |

| w3m is a text-based web browser as well as a pager like more or less. With w3m you can browse web pages through a terminal emulator window (xterm, rxvt or something like that). Moreover, w3m can be used as a text formatting tool which typesets HTML into plain text. | |
links | links | 0.98 | Arkadiusz Miskiewicz |
| Links is text WWW browser with tables which runs on Unix and OS/2. Unfortunately at the moment there is only an IPv6-support patch for the very old 0.92 version of links. If you are interested in using an IPv6-enabled web browser similar to links, you should probably try elinks. | |
elinks | elinks | 0.9.2rc2 | Maintainers |
| ELinks is an advanced and well-established text-mode web (HTTP/FTP/..) browser forked from Links and maintained by Petr Baudis. ELinks can render both frames and tables, is highly customizable and can be extended via Lua or Guile scripts. It is very portable and runs on a variety of platforms. | |

wget | wget | 1.9.1 | Maintainers |

mMosaic | mMosaic | 3.7.2 | Maintainers |
| mMosaic is a derivative work of NCSA XMosaic 2.7b4. You can use it as a simple browser, but the real target of mMosaic is multicast networking (mMosaic is possibly a good companion for the Whiteboard). Now it supports tables and other supplementary tags, but only one level of frames is supported. mMosaic features IPv6 support since version 3.4.16. | |
| Web Caching and/or Filtering | ||||||
wwwoffle | wwwoffle | 2.7 | Maintainers |
| The wwwoffled program is a simple proxy server with special features for use with dial-up internet links. This means that it is possible to browse web pages and read them without having to remain connected. Native IPv6 support was added in the 2.6d release. | |

www6to4 | www6to4 | 1.5 | Maintainers |
| www6to4 is a little web proxy that can communicate over both IPv4 and IPv6. It's primary use is as stub-proxy between a IPv4-only browser and the rest of the (v4 and v6) Internet. However, it will work just fine on IPv4-only or IPv6-only machines. This proxy is meant to run on a client machine as frontend to an IPv4-only browser and not to serve a large number of clients and keep a cache for them. If you need the latter you're much better off with a full-fledged proxy like squid. | |
Prometeo | Prometeo | 1.4 | Maintainers |
| Prometeo (Italian spelling for Prometheus) is a modular proxy that comes with an HTTP caching proxy module, an FTP proxy module with TLS support, a simple TCP tunnel module and an SSL tunnel module. | |
ffproxy | ffproxy | 1.6-RC1 | Maintainers |
| ffproxy is a filtering HTTP/HTTPS proxy server. It is able to filter by host, URL, and header. Custom header entries can be filtered and added. It can even drop its privileges and optionally chroot() to some directory. Logging to syslog() is supported, as is using another auxiliary proxy server. An HTTP accelerator feature (acting as a front-end to an HTTP server) is included. Contacting IPv6 servers as well as binding to IPv6 is supported and allows transparent IPv6 over IPv4 browsing (and vice versa). | |
