Reliable you say... while posting a comment at the linked blog, got:

500 Internal Server Error
Cherokee web server 1.2, Port 80

I'd expect a bit better of ex-"Technical Lead en Sun Microsystems, High Performance / High Availability Engineer en Espanix", frankly. And FWIW the comment was:

---
"Id say that none, none at all" -- if that would be the case, then typing all those letterses into scripts making up those very webapps would make no sense either. Folks might as well just do everything by hand in those pesky desktop applications not suited for any sane automation... but you were just trolling cheap, right? ;-)

BTW there is already apsstandard.org -- hope it's not news to folks over there.

And it's not like if Cherokee resolved the problem: it STILL uses opaque configuration files.

By contrast, G-WAN is much faster (without *any* configuration file):

Cherokee might rock... but maybe in another area:
