I found I can change my fcgi program to HTTPserver program very easily.
And it's quite easy to run it as Windows serivce, which means it is not different from FCGI model in practice.
I'd like to know HTTPServer is reliable, for heavy accesses. If you have any experience of servicing it to others for long time, and for large number of people, please share your experiences.

Depends of what you mean by "heavy access". It wouldn't do to service, say, Amazon or Google or Facebook or ... but for some hundreds or even a few thousands people it should work alright.

We have a somewhat specialized server built with it which serves some 500 people (most on local, though) almost 24/7 without appreciable glitches and part of the contents are served from a PostgreSQL DB.

I'd like to serve as many people as Amazon, Google, or Facebook, but not so many people are expecting something from me YET :D.  Hundreds or thousands are exactly the number I'm looking for.  Thank you very much. Your comment is very helpful.
