Apache httpd handles different kinds of requests and responses
through modules -- static file serving, directory listing, proxy via
http, ajp, etc. Passenger provides a rack interface which is what
Rails uses to talk to the outside world (and which is provided by
webrick, puma, unicorn, thin, etc.).

I'm not a Passenger fan after discovering that any startup error in
production dumps a page full of sensitive data out for anyone to
see, which seems utterly braindead...
