NCSA httpd 1.0a2 has been released and can be found on ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu
  under /Web/ncsa_httpd/httpd-1.0a2. 

All documentation is online, and can be found at http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/

<A HREF="http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/">That's here.</A>

Version 1.0a2 is a release with bug fixes, and new features. If you're using
  httpd 1.0a1, I would strongly recommend you upgrade, to save yourself some
  hassle later on. 

New in version 1.0a2: 

 o Introduced support for HTTP/1.0 3xx redirection from server scripts
 o Introduced per-directory access by host and options control
 o Added flags for BSD 4.2 compatibility (no killpg and no setsid)
 o Enhanced documentation (more examples)
 o Introduced support for server restart through SIGHUP
 o Fixed bug which caused system not to return port when httpd is done
 o Fixed bug which caused server to go into infinite spin with GET /htbin
 o Bug in directory indexing repaired (thanks to neal@ctd.comsat.com).
 o Added timeout while sending data to client so as to alleviate
   zombie servers laying around when the client drops.
