lighttpd 1.4.54 已发布。lighttpd 是一个开源 Web 服务器软件，旨在提供一个专门针对高性能网站，安全、快速、兼容性好并且灵活的 Web Server 环境。具有非常低的内存开销，CPU 占用率低，效能好，以及丰富的模块等特点。

Lighttpd 是一个德国人领导的开源 Web 服务器软件，其根本的目的是提供一个专门针对高性能网站，安全、快速、兼容性好并且灵活的 Web Server 环境。具有非常低的内存开销，CPU 占用率低，效能好，以及丰富的模块等特点。

Lighttpd 是众多 OpenSource 轻量级的 Web Server 中较为优秀的一个。支持 FastCGI, CGI, Auth, 输出压缩(output compress), URL 重写, Alias 等重要功能，而 Apache 之所以流行，很大程度也是因为功能丰富，在 Lighttpd 上很多功能都有相应的实现了，这点对于 Apache 的用户是非常重要的，因为迁移到 Lighttpd 就必须面对这些问题。

重要变更

• 对 URL 进行严格和规范化的解析（可配置）
• mod_webdav 现在会拒绝部分 PUT（可配置）
• mod_auth: HTTP Auth Digest algorithm=SHA-256
• mod_webdav: 提升性能、健壮性以及 RFC 合规性
• 性能改进和 bug 修复

Behavior Change

lighttpd now performs strict URL parsing and normalization on HTTP requests. This is configurable, but the defaults are now strict unless explicitly configured otherwise.

Enabling strict URL parsing and normalization by default provides more consistent behavior for mod_redirect and mod_rewrite, which match against the (url-encoded) URL request. However, decoding %2F by default, while generally desirable for consistency, is potentially a breaking change for those encoding URLs in the url-path and relying on the literal ‘/’ as a delimiter. For those uses, “url-path-2f-decode” => “disable” will need to be explicitly set in the lighttpd config.

https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Server_http-parseoptsDetails

The recommended settings for server.http-parseopts are the following, unless specific use requires looser settings:

      server.http-parseopts = (
        "header-strict"            => "enable",
        "host-strict"              => "enable",
        "host-normalize"           => "enable",
        "url-normalize"            => "enable",
        "url-normalize-unreserved" => "enable",
        "url-normalize-required"   => "enable",
        "url-ctrls-reject"         => "enable",
        "url-path-2f-decode"       => "enable",
        "url-path-dotseg-remove"   => "enable",
        "url-query-20-plus"        => "enable"
      )
