Rainbows! is an HTTP server for sleepy Rack applications. It is based on
Unicorn, but designed to handle applications that expect long
request/response times and/or slow clients.
* http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/
* rainbows-talk-GrnCvJ7WPxnNLxjTenLetw@public.gmane.org
* git://git.bogomips.org/rainbows.git
Changes:
For concurrency models that use sendfile or IO.copy_stream, HTTP
Range requests are honored when serving static files. Due to
the lack of known use cases, multipart range responses are not
supported.
When serving static files with sendfile and proxying
pipe/socket bodies, responses bodies are always properly closed
and we have more test cases for dealing with prematurely
disconnecting clients.
Concurrency model specific changes:
EventMachine, NeverBlock -
* keepalive is now supported when proxying pipes/sockets
* pipelining works properly when using EM::FileStreamer
* these remain the only concurrency models _without_
Range support (EM::FileStreamer doesn't support ranges)
Rev, RevThreadSpawn, RevThreadPool -
* keepalive is now supported when proxying pipes/sockets
* pipelining works properly when using sendfile
RevThreadPool -
* no longer supported under 1.8, it pegs the CPU at 100%.
Use RevThreadSpawn (or any other concurrency model) if
you're on 1.8, or better yet, switch to 1.9.
Revactor -
* proxying pipes/sockets with DevFdResponse is much faster
thanks to a new Actor-aware IO wrapper (used transparently
with DevFdResponse)
* sendfile support added, along with Range responses
FiberSpawn, FiberPool, RevFiberSpawn -
* Range responses supported when using sendfile
ThreadPool, ThreadSpawn, WriterThreadPool, WriterThreadSpawn -
* Range responses supported when using sendfile or
IO.copy_stream.
See the full git logs for a list of all changes.
