No NGINX that I am aware of. Even though it's open source, it's also from
Russia so there is some concern about the code containing mining
capabilities. I don't know that it's ever actually been shown to be true,
but the concern is there. Someone would have to port it to POWER which I'm
guessing is a bit of a task. IBM monitors this list so I'm sure I will be
corrected if I'm wrong.
WAS would have a very big footprint and added intrigue of trying to keep it
patched. A two-step manual process rather than apply the Apache group PTF
and done.

Subject: [WEB400] Reverse Proxy for Node.JS on IBM i
What are people's thoughts about running web servers as reverse proxies for
Node.JS servers on the IBM i?
I assume one could set up an IBM HTTP server as a reverse proxy for a
Node.JS server. The IBM HTTP server could handle static content; the Node.JS
server could deliver web services for dynamic content.
I also assume WebSphere web server could also be set up as a reverse proxy
for Node.JS. Would there be any benefits to using WebSphere instead of the
IBM HTTP server as a reverse proxy on the IBM i?
I currently have NGINX set up as a reverse proxy for a Node.JS server on a
windows machine (a learning environment). I like the fact that NGINX and
Node.JS are both event driven, making them fast and scalable. I'm not sure I
will ever really need the scalability NGINX offers. IBM HTTP server will
very likely meet all of my needs. Yet, out of curiosity, does anyone know if
there are plans to port NGINX (or some other event driven web server) to the
IBM i?
Thanks,
Kelly Cookson
