Hey!

In my short tests it looks that Cherokee is safe when it's attacked by
"Slowloris" ( http://ha.ckers.org/slowloris/?docid=EBFPB_IBPWZWR )

Oficially only Lighttpd and IIS is safe.

I have tested slowloris on many sites using apache, and I must confirm
it... Apache freezes one second after start... Cherokee works even
after few minutes ;)

Soo, it's good message before weekend ;D

Btw. Don't over use it :)

Greetings
Jędrzej Nowak

Nice!!!

I was about to send a message to the list with the same good news when i
found yours :-D

I tested it against a cherokee 0.99.15 with a moodle installation and
everything worked fine!
