Hi,
I am new to this group. I have a question about Apache web server. Does it
forks a new process to handle a new http/https connection or create a new
thread??
Thanks,
Imran Badr.

Right, so that basically fits in with option #2. Option #1 has raised
various concerns since it was first proposed, including concern over the
possible expensiveness of dup() on some OS'es. I just thought I'd
document all of the reasonable suggestions for completeness-sake, though
at this point I personally prefer one of the latter two options.
