2009-07-15Rename unicorn/http11 => unicorn_http
We couldn't do proper namespacing for the C module so there was a potential conflict with Init_http11() in Mongrel. This was needed because Mongrel's HTTP parser could be used in some applications and we may be unfortunate enough need to support them.
2009-06-10Optimize body-less GET/HEAD requests (again)
No point in making syscalls to deal with empty bodies. Reinstate usage of the NULL_IO object which allows us to avoid allocating new objects.
2009-04-21http11: support underscores in URI hostnames
They aren't common, but apparently there exist URLs with them, so we'll support them.
2009-04-21http11: rfc2616 handling of absolute URIs
We now parse the scheme, host and port from Absolute URIs and ignore them if the equivalents are specified in the other headers.
2009-04-21http11: cleanup some CPP macros
Use the "do {} while (0)" idiom to wrap the macros we can wrap to avoid having to worry about semi-colons when using them. Unfortunately DEF_MAX_LENGTH can't be wrapped with "do {} while (0)". But we do now correctly constify the strings DEF_MAX_LENGTH creates and also make them static to reduce visibility.
2009-04-21http11: make parser obey HTTP_HOST with empty port
This means "Host: foo-bar:" (trailing colon) will assume server_port is 80, not a blank string.
2009-04-21http11: minor cleanups in return types
While we're at it, replace a bunch of zero assignments with a memset to avoid forgetting a struct element in case we change the struct.
2009-04-21replace DATA_GET macro with a function
I don't see the point of using a macro here as it's never called in a hot path. It's a very minor size reduction in the binary, but also makes the rest of the code less noisy/screamy.
2009-04-21http11: remove callbacks from structure
There's no point in having redefinable callbacks if they're always going to be pointed to the same function. This reduces the size of the http_parser structure to half its original size. This change may actually make more sense in servers Mongrel/Thin than Unicorn since Unicorn only has one parser per-process while other servers can have hundreds or even thousands.
2009-04-21http11: formatting cleanups
2009-04-21HttpParser: set QUERY_STRING for Rack-compliance
2009-04-21http11: remove unused variables/elements
We don't do anything special with content length in the parser other than forcing the headers without the "HTTP_" prefix for Rack-compliance.
2009-04-21Move absolute URI parsing into HTTP parser
It's part of the HTTP/1.1 (rfc2616), so we might as well handle it in there and set PATH_INFO while we're at it. Also, make "OPTIONS *" test not fail Rack::Lint
2009-04-21http11: cleanup #includes and whitespace
Remove ctype.h and stdio.h #includes. We avoid ctype.h functions since it is locale-dependent and HTTP itself is locale-independent. Also, regenerate http11_parser.c against Ragel 6.4
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
2009-03-03unicorn/http11: hopefully fix gem installation
Also, update the Manifest
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.
