This article is a comparison of web server software.
The first web servers only supported static files, such as HTML (and images), but now they most commonly allow embedding of server side applications, written in some programming language.
Some web application frameworks include simple HTTP servers. For example the Django framework provides runserver, and PHP has a built-in CLI SAPI server. These are generally intended only for use during initial development. A production server will require a more robust HTTP front-end such as one of the servers listed here.
