Some Features of LiteSpeed Web Server:HTTP/1.1
API Connectivity
LiteSpeed web server is desgined to be a secure web server. With chroot jail, IP level bandwidth throttling, connection accounting, strict HTTP request checking, and URL context filtering, DoS effects are minimized and the application backend is properly fenced away from the HTTP request layer reducing vulnerability.
