You’re getting nowhere, Apache had the same problem when compared to PWS, read the bottom line:

Thank you very much:

In fact, Windows 95/98 offers no security on the local machine, either. This is the simple reason that the Apache Software Foundation never endorses the use of Windows 95/98 as a public httpd server. These facilities exist only to assist the user in developing web content and learning the Apache server, and perhaps as a intranet server on a secured, private network.
Apache made it available saying never to make it outward-facing, mainly as an internal learning tool. Yet Microsoft shipped PWS with Windows 98, advertising that you can run your own public web server.
