lighttpd now supports KTLS.  I am super happy with it.  But i have
rather strict firewall rules that downgrade things that come often
(or download much), and have server.max-keep-alive-requests=1 for
git access (could do connection.kbytes-per-second= also for it,
but luckily that not needed for me _YET_), so they get used to it.
git browsing only with basic HTTP authentication, that cut my
distress by an enormous amount, most bots are so primitive.
curl -I and lynx show the HTTP realm, unfortunately firefox not,
so those have to read the web site to know about the right
password and user.
