[Boa-devel] hydra

[Nikos M. <nm...@gn...>]

 I've modified Boa in a way that supports multiple threads, so that 
performance scales with CPUs. I've also added some features I liked, and
the result was Hydra (note the name). Hydra is very alpha and
can be found at ftp://ftp.hellug.gr/pub/software/hydra/

All the changes done, since Boa/0.94.13 are here:

 * Added support for SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 protocols.
 * Added support for multiple CPU's by making the server
   run over a pool of threads.
 * Changed the file caching code. The mmap() calls are cached until
   the mmap list table is full.
 * Added support for HTTP/1.1 ranges.
 * Added support for hostname based virtual hosting.
   Also changed the semantics of Alias, ScriptAlias and Redirect, to
   take advantage of the host based virtual hosting.
 * Added support for the TCP_CORK tcp option in linux.
 * Cleaned up the CGI handling (indexer are treated as CGIs)
 * Enhanced grammar to handle 3 and 4 argument options.
 * Added support for multiple directory indexes.
 * Dropped support for gunzip.
 * Use automake to create the distribution.
