- Yes, the httpd port of NCSAs. I ran it before starting on AWS. At 500
- requests/day, the HTTPD part was a bit flaky. At 1000 requests/hour,
- AWS is pretty solid.
-
- I blame many of the problems of HTTPD on Unixisms that don't work well
- on the Amiga. If you need the features of HTTPD that aren't in AWS, or
- want experience with an outdated Unix server, or expect low hit rates,
- it's a perfectly reasonable choice.
-
- I'd recommend going with AWS if you expect to have a serious server
- and can live without the extra features. The size/speed difference
- starts showing up in those cases.
