Comment 31 for bug 1524916

Oh, I see we had some work done around using nginx as a replacement, and I didn't see the patches , yikes.

The other alternative as per example was [1] haproxy-based replacement.

haproxy is widely available and supported on all distributions, while nginx is not. On the other hand I don't know if any of them has a technical advantage/disadvantage over each other.

Of course, who's doing the field work is using nginx and I'm perfectly fine with that, I wouldn't mind if nginx were more widely supported.

I will keep up with reviews if this restarts anytime.
