Thanks for keeping your great benchmark site up-to-date.

Btw. your https/SSL doesn't work with IE11. It's the first site ever where IE11 asks me to "check the advanced settings for TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and try it again". It works fine in Firefox.

The HHVM tests "didn't complete", probably due a config error (https://github.com/TechEmpower/TFB-Round-10/blob/master/peak...) - HHVM was in the top results in Round 8/9.

They appear to have badly misconfigured Apache so nothing IE related works and all the cipher suites are weak. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=techempower.c...

Thanks for the pointer - I have reconfigured our Apache to support the ailing browsers affected by a stricter cipher suite selection.

Lots of web frameworks come with their own HTTP servers. Seems like a waste. OTOH, configuring Nginx can be a pain. It's easier to cook something up in the language of your choice in which you're building your website.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was one blazingly fast HTTP server with API such that other web frameworks could just build on top of it?

I think that's what mongrel2's aim is. http://mongrel2.org/
