Just out of curiosity, Flickr has been a die hard users of Squid.

Did your team ever convinced them to use YTS?

yes, this is really interesting. sometimes i really don't understand them...
especially php does not recommended threaded MPM in apache2...so
continue to use apache 1.x ?

Since Apache 2.0, we've had the MPM architecture, which means you can
plug in your choice of processing model.  That's also how Apache 2
works cross-platform, rather than being (like Apache 1) a Unix server
ported with lots of compromises in performance/etc to other platforms.



i was surprised that event based MPM did not catch too much attention
of Apache developers? maybe i am wrong? :)

Hello,

Thanks for your reply first.

I understand Apache already support fastcgi, however, phper most
likely will prefer mod_php, so fastcgi in Apache is not as popular as
in other http servers.

Similarly, later Apache 2.x might officially support event based model
rather than multi-process one.

We know that fastcgi & event based model have some very attractive
reasons, such as better usage of cpu time, more robust even under high
loading.

I am not asking whether/when Apache support these functions, I want to
learn more abt from the Apache httpd developers, their way of thinking
behind these approaches..why they are not good or not suitable in
Apache, why?

I belive there must be some reasons behind. :)


Thanks.

Hi,

1. Apache 2.2 can be used event based request handling, though is is
still under development. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/event.html
2. Apache supports fast cgi


What do you think about Lighttpd?

2007-02-26 Thread howard chen

Can anyone give some comments abt in their implementations which are
difference from Httpd on the following area:

1. single-threaded, event-based, (powered by epoll)
2. fast cgi support


seems that these two points are quite attractive to use, why seldom
heard abt them in Httpd world?

:)

Thanks for any comments.
