TLS/HTTPS may be enabled with a separate stunnel daemon that terminates TLS and redirects raw HTTP packets to http daemon. NGINX and OpenBSD httpd authors decided not to include CGI interpretation but instead use FastCGI. For OpenBSD was developed a slowcgi gateway.
In 2016, NGINX and Apache [57] were the major providers of SPDY traffic. [58] In 2015, NGINX 1.9.5 dropped SPDY support in favor of HTTP/2. [59] Some Google services (e.g. Google Search, Gmail, and other SSL-enabled services) use SPDY when available. [60] Google's ads are also served from SPDY-enabled servers. [61]
Nginx is free and open-source software, released under the terms of the 2-clause BSD license. A large fraction of web servers use Nginx, [10] often as a load balancer. [11] A company of the same name was founded in 2011 to provide support and NGINX Plus paid software. [12] In March 2019, the company was acquired by F5 for $670 million. [13]
The introduction of JavaScript (then known as LiveScript) enabled the production of client-side dynamic web pages, with JavaScript code executed in the client's browser. [4] The letter "J" in the term AJAX originally indicated the use of JavaScript, as well as XML.
CDN77 supports HTTP/2 using nginx (August 20, 2015). Cloudflare supports HTTP/2 using nginx with SPDY as a fallback for browsers without support, whilst maintaining all security and performance services. [90] Cloudflare was the first major CDN to support HTTP/2 Server Push. [91] AWS CloudFront supports HTTP/2 [92] since September 7, 2016.
Server Name Indication (SNI) is an extension to the Transport Layer Security (TLS) computer networking protocol by which a client indicates which hostname it is attempting to connect to at the start of the handshaking process. [1]
AOLserver is multithreaded, Tcl-enabled, and used for large scale, dynamic web sites. AOLserver is distributed under the Mozilla Public License. [1] AOLserver was originally developed by NaviSoft under the name "NaviServer", but changed names when AOL bought the company in 1995.
FastCGI is a binary protocol for interfacing interactive programs with a web server.It is a variation on the earlier Common Gateway Interface (CGI). FastCGI's main aim is to reduce the overhead related to interfacing between web server and CGI programs, allowing a server to handle more web page requests per unit of time.
