Can Apache or other httpd's do the same live upgrading trick that Nginx has? Seems like a really wild feature.


I don't think any other popular http server support this. If there's a web server written in Erlang, you can be sure that is available (it's a core Erlang feature).

But apache can let you load a new .so without recompiling (or even restarting) the main server, which, for most intents and purposes, gives you equivalent functionality.
