Apache Tomcat is an open-source implementation of the Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Expression Language and WebSocket technologies.

OpenSSL is a software library for applications that secure communications over computer networks against eavesdropping or need to identify the party at the other end. It is widely used by Internet servers, including the majority of HTTPS websites.

Mod_dav is an Apache module to provide WebDAV capabilities for your Apache web server. It is an open-source module, provided under an Apache-style license.

Mod_jk is an Apache module used to connect the Tomcat servlet container with web servers such as Apache, iPlanet, Sun ONE (formerly Netscape) and even IIS using the Apache JServ Protocol. A web server waits for client HTTP requests.

mod_ssl is an optional module for the Apache HTTP Server. It provides strong cryptography for the Apache web server via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) cryptographic protocols by the help of the open-source SSL/TLS toolkit OpenSSL.

Java is a general-purpose programming language that is class-based, object-oriented, and designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.

jQuery is a JavaScript library designed to simplify HTML DOM tree traversal and manipulation, as well as event handling, CSS animation, and Ajax. It is free, open-source software using the permissive MIT License.

Varnish is an open-source web application accelerator also known as a HTTP cache or reverse proxy. It is designed to speed up websites and reduce the load on web servers by caching frequently accessed web pages and serving them directly to users without having to generate them dynamically each time they are requested. Varnish is typically used in front of web servers such as Apache or Nginx, and it can be configured to cache content based on various criteria such as URL, HTTP headers, cookies, and more. It also supports dynamic content and can be used to implement load balancing, content filtering, and other advanced features. Varnish is known for its high performance and scalability, and it is widely used by websites with high traffic volumes such as news sites, social media platforms, and e-commerce sites. It is also used by many content delivery networks (CDNs) to improve the speed and efficiency of content delivery.
