G-WAN, Another Free Web Server

mssmss writes "Has anyone used G-WAN — a free (as in beer), supposedly fast and scalable Web server? The downside is it supports only C scripts, which the author claims is a plus since most programmers know C anyway. There is currently only a Windows release and no clear answer in their FAQs whether there would be Linux/Solaris releases. As an interesting aside, releasing a Web server while at the same time fighting a losing battle (PDF) with a large bank over a piracy claim of $200 million (the bank is alleged to have done the piracy) is quite a feat."

    Maybe that's the only thing he felt competent to write?
     
    An operating system or a word processor would be a more complex project than a basic webserver.
     
    In the immortal words of whatzisname: if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
