[Modsecurity] mod_magnet for Lighttpd

[Crazy Canucks]

That's what I said when I first heard about it, I'm glad you had the 
same reaction.  :)  What got my attention was word of mouth from other 
users of Lighttpd, and claims such as Lighttpd using 4MB of ram where, 
with exactly the same website, traffic and software, Apache used 80MB of 
ram, as well as claims of faster rendering times for PHP, greater 
stability, etc.  I'm waiting for some new hardware to arrive, at which 
point I'll be upgrading the hardware for my server, and if I can be 
comfortable with the security, I'll probably be making the switch to 
Lighttpd then.

Thanks for looking into it, Owen Stairs
