Ummm, you're assuming it's Apache because that's what the headers say? Or am I missing something? Note the F5 BigIP in there --- lots of stuff you can do with that to obscure what's really under the hood. And just because Apache is in there, it doesn't mean it's doing the CF application serving per se -- a very common situation in the Rails world now is to use Apache 2.2 with mod_proxy to load balance between 3-10 mongrel web/ruby servers. So technically the request is coming/going to Apache, but Apache just balances the requests and proxies to what's really serving the pages. It's straightforward to do the same with CF/JRun on the backend. All academic anyhow -- the original point of the thread was whether IIS or Apache was faster serving CF b/c IIS was quoted as being faster for static pages. I think that there's little evidence to support that assertion :) <sidebar>A fun rant from Zed Shaw about statistics and programmers rates directly to this discussion http://zedshaw.com/rants/programmer_stats.html</sidebar> If you don't know Zed, he wrote mongrel (one of the fastest web servers around) and is *never* afraid to tell you exactly what he thinks :) > On 2/7/07, John Paul Ashenfelter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > And I'll throw in a discussion I had w/ an unnamed Adobe source -- > > seems like Adobe runs CF inside a Java container with the internal > > webserver -- no IIS or Apache. > > > -- > CFAJAX docs and other useful articles: > http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:269001 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
