I believe it's "ngin" that makes it "engine"-x, not just "ng."

How do you pronounce "nghttp" then? "enge http"?

Next gen http

Angie('s) HTTP?

I heard back on the day, it was, "Nighty"

Hence lighttpd being pronounced "lighty", I suppose.

Ah, that's a good point too! :) And glad to know that my pronunciation EN-JINX has a more plausible and informative alternative.
