Download Apache modules

Hi everyone,

I am new to Apache and I have these simple questions that I really
can't answer:

I installed Apache 1.x and I found some files with the extension ".so"
under the modules diretory.

I need further modules that are not under the modules directory, where
can I download them from?

For each module there's a ".c" file. Where can I download these files
from and where should I put them to be visible?
Thanx in advance,
Samar

That's normal. Apache uses .so for its module files so that the
configuration is more portable. They're just DLLs, but built to act as
Apache modules.

It would help if you said what modules you need. Take a look at
http://modules.apache.org; you may find what you're looking for.

A ".c" file is usually a source file. If you have the binary .so module,
you won't need the source file.
