Keep-Alive

Disabling keep-alive might help your server if you suffer from a large number of open file descriptors.

• defaults:

server.max-keep-alive-requests = 128
server.max-keep-alive-idle = 30
server.max-read-idle = 60
server.max-write-idle = 360

• less...

server.max-keep-alive-requests = 8
server.max-keep-alive-idle = 8

• Disabling keep-alive

server.max-keep-alive-requests = 0

modules

./configure --with-openssl --with-linux-aio

• in lighttpd.conf

secdownload.secret          = "password"
secdownload.document-root   = "/export/mediaroot/auth/"
secdownload.uri-prefix      = "/dl/"
secdownload.timeout         = 120
