How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T8816629 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: mod_spdy
Context triple: [Apache HTTP Server, supportsExtensionModule, mod_spdy]

A. Apache HTTP Server (via mod_spdy and later modules)
Apache HTTP Server (via mod_spdy and later modules) is a widely used open-source web server that gained support for Google’s SPDY protocol and its successors through optional extension modules.
B. SPDY
SPDY is an experimental, now-deprecated web protocol developed by Google to speed up and secure HTTP traffic, which heavily influenced the design of HTTP/2.
C. mod_proxy
mod_proxy is an Apache HTTP Server module that provides proxy and gateway functionality, enabling features like load balancing, reverse proxying, and protocol tunneling for web applications.
D. lighttpd
lighttpd is a lightweight, high-performance open-source web server optimized for speed-critical and resource-constrained environments.
E. HTTP/2
HTTP/2 is a major revision of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol that introduced features like multiplexing, header compression, and server push to significantly improve web performance over HTTP/1.1.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
