Roxen Webserver 4.5.111 (r2) has just been released by http://www.roxen.com/ of the 709-year old city of Linköping, Sweden. Roxen, named after a nearby lake, is a full-featured web application server platform, written in Pike and C, and supporting features such as dynamically-generated images and text, a XML-based macro language, a non-forking multi-threaded HTTP/HTTPS engine, proxy and relaying support, database integration. and other advanced features.
Changes since 4.5.78 include several RXML, HTTP, and database-related fixes. In the included version of Pike, they have included several “internal fixes for compiler errors, 2GB+ files, memory handling, asynchronous HTTP queries, etc.” The Image module now supports “CMYK format, EPS variations, little-endian TIFF files, GhostScript timeout, and more”.
We use Roxen and Apache 2/Rails/Mongrel side-by-side to be able to handle various difficult web-hosting situations. Things that are difficult in Apache are quite simple in Roxen, and some of the limitations of Roxen can be easily handled by Apache.
