IMO, the reason for the initial success of HTTP (1.x) was due to its extreme simplicity. Things like text-based protocol, straightforward stateless design, capability to implement both server and client in easy, basic code. All this meant t

I truly believe that A/UX doesn't get the credit it deserves. Was it ambitious? Sure. Did it it fully succeed in the goals it set for itself? Not really. But it was really a very nice integration of the Finder and UNIX. After all

Why does no one pick it anymore? The reason is twofold: (1) the amount of FUD that surrounds it, based on old comparisons of nginx and Apache httpd 1.3 or 2.x using Prefork and (2) cool-kid syndrome. This thread itself is a perfect example.

Hmmm... looks like nothing more than a weblog analyzer. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It's not "real time" since it can only report on what the web-server has done not what it is doing . AFAIK, nginx has nothing li

It is amazing, and sad, how many people still refer to this document today when complaining about how "threads are bad" and "events are the bee's knees" or when justifying some architectural decision to avoid thread

If nginx has dubious copyright, you cannot fork the code, since not being open source, it is legally not-forkable. Yes, you could do a complete rewrite, but that would require doing so in a "clean room" fashion, which would be ver

I loved A/UX... it was a fun OS, and porting various software to it was a great way to learn things. It also got me seriously involved in the Free Software and Open Source movements with my work on jagubox.

Here is a nice thought experiment: substitute the word "privileged" for "gifted" and see if, and how, your response to this article changes.

I especially love how the benchmark totally addresses the "events are always good and threads are always bad" FUD... Performance is a balance, not a simple, knee-jerk pronouncement.

"Things like Kong, Tyk and Apigee have caching, embedded scripting, basic load balancing, etc. " Hmmm... like Apache httpd?

Why not? Apache 2.4 with the Event MPM is async and event-driven, just as fast as nginx, lower latency, more fully compliant w/ RFC specs, robust reverse proxy w/ load balancing and dynamic configuration, super-fast caching,... an

"It's still living in the world of one process or one thread per connection." It hasn't lived in that world for a decade or so. It's great to give advice, but at least make it valid and factual. With the Apache 2.4

That is simply untrue. Apache 2.4.x w/ the Event MPM is just as fast and actually has lower latency. That FUD has long, long since been disproved.

The problem, of course, when all contributions are "limited" to those within the company, that the talent and expertise required to keep things going exist just in the company itself, and not in the overall open source community.

Kind of sad that compliance never given as much importance as it should have... What good is a fast server if it doesn't fully comply w/ the spec? Luckily, there are some, like Apache httpd, that do both.

A/UX used the 68k microprocessors and would have needed to be ported to the PPC chip to be viable. A number of us A/UX hard-core fans really pushed Apple to do so, but instead, Apple decided to drop A/UX in favor of some sort

If you want the super best performance, throughput and latency wise, and don't care about memory, then Apache prefork would be the way to go. Just make sure that Apache never needs to fork any new processes after startup. Usually, of c
