Here is the equivalent in lighttpd, too bad lighttpd has no plans for HTTP2, it’s much friendlier and flexible to configure than nginx in my humble opinion.<\/p>\n

I used to host this website and wordpress on lighttpd, lighttpd’s config file is very powerful, it’s all based on matching server variables and applying rules, I will miss it dearly, things like having a compressed file cache and it’s flexibility, but I have to move on to nginx if I want to use http2, the lighttpd has no plans for http2 support and it’s just much faster and efficient than http 1.1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
