2018-12-26use rb_gc_register_mark_object
Since Ruby 2.6, it's a documented part of the API and we may depend on it: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9894 It's been around since the early Ruby 1.9 days, and reduces overhead compared to relying on rb_global_variable: https://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/20170301002854.29198-1-e@80x24.org/
2017-03-08unicorn_http: reduce rb_global_variable calls
rb_global_variable registers the address of the variable which refers to the object, instead of the object itself. This adds extra overhead to each global variable for our case, where the variable is frozen and never changed. Given there are currently 59 elements in this array, this saves 58 singly-linked list entries and associated malloc calls and associated overhead in the current mainline Ruby 2.x implementation. On 64-bit GNU libc malloc, this is already 16 * 58 = 928 bytes; more than the extra object slot and array slack space used by the new mark array. Mainline Ruby 1.9+ currently has a rb_gc_register_mark_object public function which would suite our needs, too, but it is currently undocumented, and may not be available in the future.
2012-04-17http: increase REQUEST_PATH maximum length to 4K
The previous REQUEST_PATH limit of 1024 is relatively small and some users encounter problems with long URLs. 4K is a common limit for PATH_MAX on modern GNU/Linux systems and REQUEST_PATH is likely to translate to a filesystem path name. Thanks to Nuo Yan <yan.nuo@gmail.com> and Lawrence Pit <lawrence.pit@gmail.com> for their feedback on this issue. ref: http://mid.gmane.org/CB935F19-72B8-4EC2-8A1D-5084B37C09F2@gmail.com
2011-05-05http_parser: add max_header_len accessor
Rainbows! wants to be able to lower this eventually...
2011-05-04return 414 for URI length violations
There's an HTTP status code allocated for it in <http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes>, so return that instead of 400.
2010-12-20http: update setting of "https" for rack.url_scheme
The first value of X-Forwarded-Proto in rack.url_scheme should be used as it can be chained. This header can be set multiple times via different proxies in the chain, but consider the first one to be valid. Additionally, respect X-Forwarded-SSL as it may be passed with the "on" flag instead of X-Forwarded-Proto. ref: rack commit 85ca454e6143a3081d90e4546ccad602a4c3ad2e and 35bb5ba6746b5d346de9202c004cc926039650c7
2010-11-06enable HTTP keepalive support for all methods
Yes, this means even POST/PUT bodies may be kept alive, but only if the body (and trailers) are fully-consumed.
2010-10-05http: raise empty backtrace for HttpParserError
It's expensive to generate a backtrace and this exception is only triggered by bad clients. So make it harder for them to DoS us by sending bad requests.
2010-02-18http: cleanup globals and ABI namespace
* init_globals() is a static function, avoid conflicting with any potential libraries out there... * mUnicorn and cHttpParser do not need to be static globals they're not used outside of Init_unicorn_http().
2009-09-02http: SERVER_PROTOCOL matches HTTP_VERSION
And it'll default to HTTP/0.9 if HTTP_VERSION is not specified (as version-less HTTP requests imply HTTP/0.9.
2009-08-17Documentation updates
* Documented Unicorn::HttpParser API methods * Keep GPL2 (COPYING) as-is without RDoc formatting. * The auto-generated index.html is stupid, replace it with README which looks saner.
2009-08-11http: add "HttpParser#keepalive?" method
This should be used to detect if a request can really handle keepalives and pipelining. Currently, the rules are: 1. MUST be a GET or HEAD request 2. MUST be HTTP/1.1 3. MUST NOT have "Connection: close" set This also reduces the amount of garbage we create by globalizing constants and using them whenever possible.
2009-08-09Switch to Ragel/C-based chunk/trailer parser
This should be more robust, faster and easier to deal with than the ugly proof-of-concept regexp-based ones.
2009-08-09http: process Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding
Explicitly track if our request will need Content-Length or chunked body decoding.
2009-08-09http: move global initialization code
Just extra noise we don't care about. This also allows us to undef the DEF_GLOBAL macro to avoid polluting the main namespace.
2009-08-09Refactoring unicorn_http C/Ragel code
More tightly integrate the C/Ruby portions with C/Ragel to avoid the confusing the flow. Split out some files into hopefully logical areas so it's easier to focus on more interesting/volatile code.
