lighttpd is a recognized web server now
By ‘recognized’, I mean lighttpd is included in Netcraft Web Survey as of April 2007. Traditionally, only 4 kinds of web servers are included: Apache, Microsoft IIS, Sun (was Netscape) and Zeus.
Such blue moon event is almost impossible, given that Apache plus IIS accounts for 90% of market, with Sun and Zeus summed up taking another 2%. This is unquestionably a status boost for lighttpd.
And to make sure this is not treated as hoax, the timestamp of the report is set to be April 2nd, though it is actually posted on April 1st.
