Making a webserver

That's why I said they have their pros and cons. Lighthttpd works best with static content for now. For dynamic websites, Apache is still better. Give it some time and lighthttpd won't be as light as it is now.

Lighttpd and nginx are blazing fast whether they serve static content or not... wahahaha... dili ta mahuman sa lalis kay religion man ni nato... wahahahaha...

Anyway, poymode was asking how we can improve existing web servers. I can't think of any simple improvement on existing web servers right now since I'm a bit sleepy. Implementing a lightweight server (or modifying existing ones) that will work with alternative transport protocols such as SCTP would be very cool, but I think it's too advanced... I don't even know how to do it right now, unless I have lots and lots of time to read. I can't think of anything... I think I need to sleeep.... waaaaaa....

It's not a religion to me. I am just being practical and use what is right for my setup... improving a webserver can be done in a lot of ways. First is optimizing your system... another is upgrading your hardware. Doing both works best.

I dunno... existing web servers are OK. You can try writing a lightweight server that you can use in embedded applications, with focus on speed and simplicity.

Examples of lightweight web servers are lighttpd, thttpd, and nginx. Maybe you can try writing a server using Java so that you can run it in your PDA/Smartphone (I'm not of the opinion that Java itself is lightweight, but what the heck... hehe).

BTW, asa ka nag-iskul?

USC ko bro.

Maybe i'll just have the idea of the webserver on a phone or just to make hybrids of those web servers and customize it sa akong feel. hahaha, read only a little about the topic pa so can't do more right now. XD

if you were to make a webserver, how can you make it different from the others?

-are there any areas where you could improve it?
-are there any areas where it lacks something that you might add something to it?
etc etc

pang thesis ni..hehehe

another reinvention of the wheel..

anyways, good luck!

How about making a webserver that can handle server push?

Good idea! Currently, "server push" is done using AJAX polling (which is not pushing anyway). There's Comet, but I'm not sure if it can scale.

Built-in server push is a really good idea!
