Wt httpd for production server

Question

It appears that there are two popular ways to run a Wt application: FastCGI with a server like Apache or their built in httpd. I am familiar with the former but not the latter.

Does anyone have any experience running a Wt app with httpd in production? Is this a good idea?

So I eneded up going to Wt forums and asking the creators of the library the same question. Here is what they had to say:

"The built-in httpd has some benefits wrt we sockets support and use of a sync I/O. We recommend it for most deployments, usually in combination with a reverse proxy such as HAproxy."
