Yes, it is Apache httpd.
Using "-D FOREGROUND" option is to run httpd as a child process of the process manager in our system, so that it can be monitored by the process manager. If leave out this option, when the process manager fork() and exec() to start httpd, it will became an orphan(which parent process pid is 1 ).
And the process manager is running in background mode, so Ctrl-C could not terminate the process manager and httpd service.
Kill httpd by "kill" command is just to test whether the process manager can be aware of its child process - httpd exiting.

Thanks for your advice, but by "

I'm guessing with kill -9 you are not allowing it to run its regular signal handlers, which include sending a SIGTERM to the parent

. ", it is the design of httpd, and we could hardly do nothing to change it, unless there is no other solution.

I'm also guessing this is by design, and that you should be able to find an option which disables this behavior

.", you mean the options to start httpd ?

Thanks !

apacheconf(1)						       Apache configuration						     apacheconf(1)

NAME

       apacheconf - Apache configuration utility

SYNTAX

       apacheconf

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a  new  graphical  tool  to configure the common web server Apache in an easy and simple way. It supports the basic configuration
       options and even allows to set up multiple virtual hosts.

OPTIONS

       None

FILES

       /usr/bin/apacheconf
       /usr/share/apacheconf/*
       /etc/alchemist/switchboard/apache.switchboard.adl
       /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/local.adl
       /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/rpm.adl
       /var/cache/alchemist/apache/*

EXAMPLES

       To run this program simply type:

       apacheconf

SEE ALSO

       httpd(8)

BUGS

       Not all possible checks for correct values are done yet.

       The current /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file is NOT parsed, so changing the configuration with apacheconf will overwrite any manual  changes
       to  the	httpd.conf  file or the changes done with apacheconf are discarded. In case of overwriting the manually editied file a backup file
       will be generated.
