Nathan,
Apache is not part of IceBreak. What Niels was making reference to is
that he has used Apache in front of IceBreak to accomplish specific
tasks before reaching IceBreak. I have not done so, so I will let Niels
explain.
Just to reiterate,
IceBreak does not use Apache
IceBreak is not CGI
IceBreak has nothing to do with .NET or any Microsoft software
IceBreak does not require Pace, Java, or any other software
IceBreak is not your grandmothers quilt meaning that it was not put
together from a bag of software pieces. IceBreak is a self-contained
HTTP/Applications Server built from the ground up to support Web
development for ILE languages.

IceBreak does not use Apache as a front-end - I am not sure
where that assertion comes from.
The assertion came from Niels. My understanding is that he's the author.
See the
following quotes:
12-30-2010 "Actually, we also use Apache to "frontend" icebreak apps,
just for
the reason that apache have some cool rewrite and reroute features...."
1-4-2011 "And the fact that IceBreak is the ILE servlet container also
underlines the misunderstanding of the title of this Thread: "IceBreak
as an
alternative to Apache" - Well is Tomcat an alternative to Apache? no -
not
really. Typically you use Apache and tomcat very closely together. We
also use
Apache and IceBreak closely together."
I am using Icebreak with Renaissance (and therefore all the underlying
CGIDEV2 procedures) without any Apache server in the equation at all.
What makes you think that? I haven't tried Icebreak myself. So I'm just
going
on Niels' comments. Well, maybe I wonder if anyone in their right mind
would
write their own HTTP server given that Apache runs everywhere. But
that's just a
subconscious thought ;-)
