The lighttpd 1.4.73 lightweight http server has been released, trying to combine high performance, security, standards compliance and customization flexibility. Lighttpd is suitable for use on highly loaded systems and aims for low memory and CPU consumption. The project code is written in C language and distributed under the BSD license.
The new version provides detection and reflection in the logs of DoS attacks of the “Rapid Reset” class, in which a large number of immediately reset flows are created within a single HTTP/2 connection. Changes have been made to mod_h2 to protect against flooding and speed up the parsing of HTTP/2 header flags. When there is an abnormally large number of incoming requests, sending “GOAWAY” responses has been implemented. Added a new MIME type for files with the extension ".mkv".
