update.FreeBSD.org unresponsive?

[Mark Martinec]

Perhaps it's time to replace Apache httpd/2.2.16 (released 6+ years ago)
running on update.FreeBSD.org with something lighter and more agile
like nginx (or at least with a fresher version of Apache httpd).

The accf_http(9) (with: accept_filter=httpready) may help too.
