Why is a conf file mentioning NCSA so surprising? Mosaic has a lineage that can be traced to modern browsers like Edge, so it'd make sense to have conf items geared toward the NCSA family of browsers.



That'll be talking about NCSA HTTPd, the ancestor of Apache. Apache forked in 1995.

Any Apache configuration file mentioning NCSA would be from the Apache 1.x lineage.


Apache is derived from NCSA HTTPd, having a config file with NCSA mentions is a sign of the age of the apache codebase being used or an extremely old default configuration file being used.
