lighttpd
Lighttpd是一个德国人领导的开源软件,其根本的目的是提供一个专门针对高性能网站,安全、快速、兼容性好
并且灵活的web server环境。具有非常低的内存开销,cpu占用率低,效能好,以及丰富的模块等特点。lighttpd是众多OpenSource轻量级的web server中较为优秀的一个。支持FastCGI, CGI, Auth, 输出压缩(output compress), URL重写, Alias等重要功能,而Apache之所以流行,很大程度也是因为功能丰富,在lighttpd上很多功能都有相应的实现了,这点对于apache的用户是非常重要的,因为迁移到lighttpd就必须面对这些问题。light footprint+httpd=LightTPD可以读成Lighty。
