2009-04-15http11: default server port is 443 for https
Also, some minor cleanups and branch refactoring.
2009-04-12http11: cleanup+safer rack.url_scheme handling
Avoid using strcmp() since it could break badly if Ruby ever stopped null-terminating strings C-style. We're also freezing "http" as a global. Rack does not explicitly permit nor deny this, and Mongrel has always used frozen strings as hash values in other places.
2009-04-08http11: handle "X-Forwarded-Proto: https"
Pass "https" to "rack.url_scheme" if the X-Forwarded-Proto header matches "https". X-Forwarded-Proto is a semi-standard header that Ruby frameworks seem to respect; so we use that. We won't support ENV['HTTPS'] since that can only be set at start time and some app servers supporting https also support http. Currently, "rack.url_scheme" only allows "http" and "https", so we won't set anything else to avoid breaking Rack::Lint.
2009-04-08http11: Remove qsort/bsearch code paths
The build-time complexity was not worth the minor performance improvement we could get for the average case (and we can cut down the amount of comparisons by putting frequent/required headers first).
2009-03-29http11: use :http_body instead of "HTTP_BODY"
"HTTP_BODY" could conflict with a "Body:" HTTP header if there ever is one. Also, try to hide this body from the Rack environment before @app is called since it is only used by Unicorn internally.
2009-03-24simplify the HttpParser interface
This cuts the HttpParser interface down to #execute and #reset method. HttpParser#execute will return true if it completes and false if it is not. http->nread state is kept internally so we don't have to keep track of it in Ruby; removing one parameter from #execute. HttpParser#reset is unchanged. All errors are handled through exceptions anyways, so the HttpParser#error? method stopped being useful. Also added some more unit tests to the HttpParser since I know some folks are (rightfully) uncomfortable with changing stable C code. We now have tests for incremental parsing. In summary, we have: * more test cases * less C code * simpler interfaces * small performance improvement => win \o/
2009-03-21http11: don't set headers Rack doesn't like
Fix the logic in HttpParser up front so we don't have to mess around with the following convoluted steps: 1. setting the HTTP_CONTENT_{LENGTH,TYPE} headers 2. reading the HTTP_CONTENT_{LENGTH,TYPE} headers again 3. setting the CONTENT_{LENGTH,TYPE} based on the HTTP_-prefixed one 4. deleting the HTTP_CONTENT_{LENGTH,TYPE} headers (since Rack doesn't like them) 1, 2, 3 were in the C code, 4 was in Ruby. Now the logic is: 1. if CONTENT_{LENGTH,TYPE} headers are seen, don't prefix with "HTTP_". All the branch logic for the new code is done at init time, too so there's no additional overhead in the HTTP parsing phase. There's also no additional overhead of hash lookups in the extra steps.
2009-03-21unicorn/http11: remove GATEWAY_INTERFACE
It's a CGI-ism and is not in the Rack spec, so don't bother.
2009-03-10http11: mark private methods as static
There's no point in increasing method visibility since it can cause conflicts with other libraries and reduces the inlining opportunities the compiler can make.
2009-03-10http11: remove unnecessary CPP definitions
2009-02-25rename http11 => unicorn/http11
Avoid conflicting with existing (and future) Mongrel installs in case either changes. Of course, this also allows us more freedom to experiment and break the API if needed... However, I'm only planning on making minor changes to remove the amount of C code we have to maintain and possibly some minor performance improvements.
