First beta of Hiawatha v10.0 has been released

12 November 2015, 22:53

I've released a first beta version of Hiawatha v10.0. The ChangeLog for this release is:

Usage of Directory sections changed.
Added support for RFC 5785.
Added support for GZip compression. Removed the UseGZfile option.
Added ECDSA support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1.
Replaced UrlToolkit Expire option with ExpirePeriod in Directory section.
Replaced IgnoreDotHiawatha option with UseLocalConfig.
Removed the VolatileObject option.
Improved SQL injection detection.
mbed TLS updated to 2.2.0.

I really like to hear your thoughts on this one. A copy can, as always, be obtained at the download page.

Is GZip compression always enabled? At least it works according to PageSpeed Insights

I've also tested RFC 5785 funtionality with Let's Encrypt. It works! New Directory sections work (tested with ExpirePeriod and password protection of directories).

If the browser tells Hiawatha that it supports GZip compression, Hiawatha will use it.

Hi Hugo,
Can someone provide an example of hiawatha.conf,cgi-wrapper.conf, and /enable-sites/example.com.conf ?

Hi Stavros. An example hiawatha.conf can be found here. What kind of examples are you looking for?

Can Hiawatha use with Kibana?

I guess it will. Kibana spawns its own webserver, right? So it should work via a reverse proxy.

Kibana (https://www.elastic.co/products/kibana and https://github.com/elastic/kibana) is javascript application and it reads json file. It works with Apache. Does Hiawatha can work with javascript based application?

@Stavros: See ChangeLog for details
@samiux: If it can talk (Fast)CGI, yes, sure.
