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
