rainbows.git - Unicorn for sleepy apps and slow clients

Date	Commit message (Collapse)
2011-04-26	doc: stop recommending Fiber* stuff
	Too much NIH and too fragile.
2011-01-06	minor cleanups following state cleanups
	We noticed a few more things that could be cleaned up after the last commit.
2011-01-06	eliminate G constant and just use the Rainbows! module
	Code organization is hard :<
2010-10-22	fiber_{pool,spawn}: unindent
	Reduces confusion for constant resolution/scoping rules and lowers LoC.
2010-10-22	code shuffling for kgio
	Despite the large number of changes, most of it is code movement here.
2010-09-28	start using kgio library
	It removes the burden of byte slicing and setting file descriptor flags. In some cases, we can remove unnecessary peeraddr calls, too.
2010-08-26	split out accept() callers to acceptor module
	Trying to avoid adding singleton methods since it's too easily accessible by the public and not needed by the general public. This also allows us (or just Zbatery) to more easily add support systems without FD_CLOEXEC or fcntl, and also to optimize away a fcntl call for systems that inherit FD_CLOEXEC.
2010-07-10	doc: avoid documenting internals on RDoc website
	Since we suck at building websites, we just rely on RDoc as a website builder. And since Rainbows! is an application server (and not a programming library), our internal API should be of little interest to end users. Anybody interested in Rainbows! (or any other project) internals should be reading the source.
2010-07-04	refactor response body handling for sendfile(2)
	This hopefully allows the "sendfile" gem to be required anywhere in the Rainbows!/Unicorn config file, and not have to be required via RUBYOPT or the '-r' command-line switch. We also modularize HttpResponse and avoids singleton methods in the response path. This (hopefully) makes it easier for individual concurrency models to share code and override individual methods.
2009-11-28	common Rainbows.accept method

2009-11-26	cleanup and refactor error handling
	Make sure app errors get logged correctly, and we no longer return a 500 response when a client EOFs the write end (but not the read end) of a connection.
2009-11-26	Fiber*: cleanup scheduling, fix keepalive
	Both FiberSpawn and FiberPool share similar main loops, the only difference being the handling of connection acceptance. So move the scheduler into it's own function for consistency. We'll also correctly implement keepalive timeout so clients get disconnected at the right time.
2009-11-25	Fiber*: add Rainbows::Fiber.sleep method
	It works exactly like Actor.sleep and similar to Kernel.sleep (no way to sleep indefinitely), but is compatible with the IO.select-based Fiber scheduler we run. This method only works within the context of a Rainbows! application dispatch.
2009-11-25	Documentation updates for new concurrency models

2009-11-25	add FiberSpawn concurrency model
	This one seems a easy to get working and supports everything we need to support from the server perspective. Apps will need modified drivers, but it doesn't seem too hard to add more/better support for wrapping IO objects with Fiber::IO.
