Netscape Commerce Server

Netscape Commerce Server

Netscape Commerce Server is a piece of software that when executed on appropriate platform running Unix or windows NT permits publication of www data to Internet or other TCP/IP based inter networks. This server supports publication of network resources created with HTML using HTTP to respond to requests for resources over Internet.

The Netscape commerce service was first HTTP server implementation that supported use of SSL. Netscape is much faster processing of resource requests from browser. Once a request has been received the server software creates a separate process on computer acting as server to handle request. Netscape’s use of its own browser to perform administrative functions helps to make managing a World Wide Web server more manageable.
