## Handler: Server Info

The Server Info handler is used to create rules that can provide information about the web server. When these rules are matched, information regarding Cherokee’s status will be displayed. The information will be refreshed every 30 seconds.

But that is not all. Besides the HTML output, the handler makes the information available for direct consumption by some of the most popular programming languages.

Language | Web path
