Hi, I'm glad to read that someone (Stefan de Konink), want to give some love to the "stable" branch of Cherokee. I was on the point of changing to something else (probably Nginx). And I'm sure I'm not the only one. The list was mostly dead, the community seems to collapse quickly. This is bad signs for an open source project.
Here are the issues that bugs me: 1. Recently my client upgrade Firefox from 3.6 to version 10 ESR. Result: all pages of their site served under HTTPS are a lot slower (at least 3x slower). After a few tests the problem really seem to come from the combination of Firefox 10+, SSL/TLS and Cherokee (1.2.101). I tried many sites that can be view in HTTPS and HTTP with Firefox 10 and Firefox 3.6 and most sites served by Cherokee were more slow only with Firefox 10 under HTTPS. I didn't see any significant differences with site served by other servers. The slowness really come from the server, not the browser. If I look in Firebug on the network panel, my typical page under HTTPS and FF10 take around 1.15 sec. to load, most of this time is waiting. Same page with FF3.6 under HTTPS took 200 ms. 2. The Timeout settings are not respected under SSL/TLS. To whatever value I set the timeout setting (via general > network settings > timeout or vserver > behavior > restrictions > timeout), the server always timeout after 15 sec. It's with cherokee 1.2.101 on Ubuntu 10.04 with uwsgi (-t 600) and over SSL. I ask about this one on the list before and I only got 1 answer of someone having the same problem. 3. The Google Chrome bug. I can open issues in the tracker if needed. One last think, I really think that Alvaro didn't dealt with his transition really well. He didn't give any news for a long time and after that it say that it will work on a new Cherokee. That sounds to most Cherokee users like "I will not fix your bugs". But the problem is that for most people the most important thing in web server is that it work and work now. After struggling with many SSL related bugs (and some not SSL related) hearing that from Alvaro make me feel that I bet on the wrong horse.
