Ah, OK so I shouldn't panic until a browser ships with pipelining enabled by default. HTTP pipelining would be nice, as in limited tests, it had a nice performance increase on sites with lots of little images/css/etc. On 3/1/07, Greg Ames [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- steve [EMAIL

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

Howerd, PHP does not recommend running php as a module in a threaded environment, because a number of PHP extensions are not thread-safe. Apache2 MPM-prefork will run just fine with php as module. Nick already told you, that Apache allows you to choose. So simply use the fast-cgi/mpm-event

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

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? :)
