The answer depends on the order you rank those four criteria, and your application. Apache is the best(*) general purpose web server. WN is the most secure. Medusa is the fastest for generating dynamic content from internal state. AOLServer is the fastest for generating dynamic content from a database. thttpd has the best throughput control, which makes it the strongest for one definition of strongest. In other words, the best solution depends on the problem you're trying to solve. <mike *) For each of this, I actually mean "has a good case for being". Feel free to disagree, as there are others that fit this description. I'm listing them to make a point. -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
