I saw that lighty has been moved back into the tree, which is great news.   As I understand it, using lighty will make captive portal really snappy but what are the other benefits we can expect to enjoy from the transition?

Have you followed the mini_httpd bugs threads?  That alone makes it worth it.

Other than that:

  • fast-cgi
  • additional caching
  • bsd license
  • output-compression
  • doesnt need to fork for every incoming connection
