Has anyone been able to recover the original source code? The README here: https://info.cern.ch/hypertext/README.html mentions a src/ directory under the same location but it 404's to me.

Would love to see the source for the original httpd.

Maybe here you'll find what you are looking for: https://www.w3.org/Daemon/

Though you can browse and download the latest version 3.0A (1996), there is a directory where they have older versions, but its a bunch of files mixed up with different versions. https://www.w3.org/Daemon/old/

Nice! HTDaemon.good, HTDaemon.old.c, some classic version control practices going on here.
