What server?

[ITz The MaN]

Are there any unix tools to find out what server software a web server is running? For example, you would type in "apple.com" and it would tell you apple.com is running apache. I've found a website that would tell you what server software a site was running, but I can't find it now. Are any such tools out there?

Yes, you can do this with wget:

wget -S --spider http://www.apple.com

By the way, the site that tracks what software
a given site is running is:

http://www.netcraft.com

I didn't know you could do that with wget . Thanx for your help, and thanx for finding that site!

Did I read the graph wrong? Or has microsoft's IIS server have a tough time "keeping it up" for more than 20 days?
LOL

It looks like Microsoft's had great uptime as has Apple, except for where they were obviously restarting several times a month while getting OS X ready to roll out.

Microsoft's server made it 90 days [once] and has a running average of less than thirty days. OSX's first real run made it 133 days with a running average of 60 days. Not bad for a brand new OS.

Win2K...pffft. what a joke.
