I think the modern conclusion is that nginx is smaller, faster and better maintained than nginx... (Apologies if the author of lighttpd hangs out here?) I think nginx sets a mean benchmark that any other "lightweight" server should be measured against. 300KB or so and it does almost everything... For sure there are great options in the 10-50KB range, but I think the point is there is little reason to look at unmaintained or "doesn't quite" options when there are these pretty high quality options available. I don't know Mongoose, but the sensible list stand at: - Boa/thttpd - Mongoose - Monkeyd - Nginx - Wildcard: Busybox... My favourite would be Nginx, but I don't need featherweight, just decently lightweight Cheers Ed W
