cliffwoolley writes "On August 7, the Apache Software Foundation was notified of a significant vulnerability that affects the Win32, OS/2, and Netware ports of Apache 2.0. It has the potential to allow an attacker to inflict serious damage to a server and/or reveal sensitive data on those platforms. To fix this vulnerability in addition to a number of cross-platform issues (a pair of path exposures and a number of bugs), Apache 2.0.40 has been released. It is considered the best currently available version of Apache, and all users are urged to upgrade."

Why isn't there a fast (non blocking) web server that supports fast dynamic content such as PHP, either built in (yuck) or through an API like FastCGI, available for UNIX platforms?

Many programs have yet to be written. Perhaps this is one of them. Maybe you'd like to write it? I think you'll be much happier if you stop expecting people to do things for you.
