Great news from LiteSpeed Technologies – after a post to the forum they have “X-Forwarded-Proto: https” AUTOMATICALY added to the headers, when proxing requests, initially comming via HTTPS. Now Rails applications are not confused, when doing redirects for HTTPS. Good to be added to Litespeed+Mongrel docs .
The litespeed-2.1.17 is already available for download (even still there is no announce).
A relatively unknown webserver from LiteSpeed Technologies claims to be six times faster than Apache with a PHP interface that is 50% faster than mod_php…Litespeed webserver is available in 3 editions, the standard edition being free (for both personal and commercial use).
And it can launch RoR applications . Maybe not so hot news, because we already have quick fastcgi capable web server like lighttpd . Still some alternative is good.
