Benefits of moving to lighty over mini_httpd?

[Guest]

I saw that lighty has been moved back into the tree, which is great news.  As I understand it, using lighty will make captive portal really snappy but what are the other benefits we can expect to enjoy from the transition?

Have you followed the mini_httpd bugs threads?  That alone makes it worth it.

Other than that:

• fast-cgi

• additional caching

• bsd license

• output-compression

• doesnt need to fork for every incoming connection
