[openstack-dev] Apache2 vs uWSGI vs ...

Folks

I just suggested to untie keystone from wsgi and implement uwsgi support.
And then let the user decide what he or she wants.

There is a plenty of auth modules for nginx also.

Nginx us much better as a proxy server and you know it.

Regarding mod wsgi and apache we already saw that it cannot handle simple
restart. I think this is not in any way acceptable from operations point if
view.
