2009-03-27Always try to send a valid HTTP response back
This reworks error handling throughout the entire stack to be more Ruby-ish. Exceptions are raised instead of forcing the us to check return values. If a client is sending us a bad request, we send a 400. If unicorn or app breaks in an unexpected way, we'll send a 500. Both of these last-resort error responses are sent using IO#write_nonblock to avoid tying Unicorn up longer than necessary and all exceptions raised are ignored. Sending a valid HTTP response back should reduce the chance of us from being marked as down or broken by a load balancer. Previously, some load balancers would mark us as down if we close a socket without sending back a valid response; so make a best effort to send one. If for some reason we cannot write a valid response, we're still susceptible to being marked as down. A successful HttpResponse.write() call will now close the socket immediately (instead of doing it higher up the stack). This ensures the errors will never get written to the socket on a successful response.
2009-03-22HttpResponse: speed up non-multivalue headers
The extra split slows things down a little as as it generates an array with a new string value and adds an extra loop to iterate through.
2009-03-21Handle Rack multivalue headers correctly
Rack uses a single newline character to represent multi-value headers. Thus { 'Set-Cookie' => "foo=bar\nbar=foo" } will get you: Set-Cookie: foo=bar Set-Cookie: bar=foo While RFC2616 says you can combine headers as: Set-Cookie: foo=bar,bar=foo There are probably HTTP clients out there that don't handle things correctly so don't bother... Additionally, don't bother doing duplicate suppression anymore. Just assume Rack or a higher layer knows what it's doing regarding duplicates and we'll get a Hash most of the time anyways.
2009-03-20HttpResponse: close body if it can close
The body could be an IO object that is closeable. So make sure we close it if it can be closed to avoid file descriptor leakage.
2009-02-14HttpResponse: remove crack-addled HTTP_STATUS_HEADERS hash
This also fixes a subtle bug in header generation when the +$,+ ($OFS) variable is defined to something other than nil or "" I'm really wondering what kind of drugs I was on (or _not_ on) when I modified some of this from the Mongrel source.
2009-02-13HttpResponse: use each instead of each_pair to iterate
Rack spec specifies #each must be defined, not #each_pair. Hash#each_pair was marginally faster in Ruby 1.8, but in Ruby 1.9.1, Hash#each and Hash#each_pair are the same function.
2009-02-09Refactor and get exec + FD inheritance working
Along with worker process management. This is nginx-style inplace upgrading (I don't know of another web server that does this). Basically we can preserve our opened listen sockets across entire executable upgrades. Signals: USR2 - Sending USR2 to the master unicorn process will cause it to exec a new master and keep the original workers running. This is useful to validate that the new code changes took place are valid and don't immediately die. Once the changes are validated (manually), you may send QUIT to the original master process to have it gracefully exit. HUP - Sending this to the master will make it immediately exec a new binary and cause the old workers to gracefully exit. Use this if you're certain the latest changes to Unicorn (and your app) are ready and don't need validating. Unlike nginx, re-execing a new binary will pick up any and all configuration changes. However listener sockets cannot be removed when exec-ing; only added (for now). I apologize for making such a big change in one commit, but once I got the ability to replace the entire codebase while preserving connections, it was too tempting to continue working. So I wrote a large chunk of this while hitting the unicorn-hello-world app with the following loop: while curl -vSsfN http://0:8080; do date +%N; done _Zero_ requests lost across multiple restarts.
2009-02-09HttpResponse: use unbuffered I/O for writing, too
Avoid needless userspace copies and craziness. We'll need to handle EINTR since writes to sockets means stupid things like this, but it's a small cost...
2009-02-09Get rid of HeaderOut and simplify HttpResponse
Just stuff what little logic we had for it into HttpResponse since Rack takes care of the rest for us. Put the HTTP_STATUS_HEADERS hash in HttpResponse since we're the only user of it. Also, change HttpResponse.send to HttpResponse.write to avoid overriding the default method.
2009-02-09Simplify HttpResponse since we only handle Rack now
The previous API was very flexible, but I don't think many people really cared for it... We now repeatedly use the same HeaderOut in each process since I completely don't care for multithreading.
2009-02-09HttpResponse: remove send_file
2009-02-09pre-generate HTTP_STATUS_HEADER to avoid repeated snprintf
Regenerating headers constantly is a waste of time.
2009-02-09Remove StringIO usage in HeaderOut
It's more GC-friendly to just use an array than to repeatedly append short strings on top of each other. I also find StringIO confusing...
2009-02-09s/Mongrel/Unicorn/g
Avoid conflicting with existing Mongrel libraries since we'll be incompatible and break things w/o disrupting Mongrel installations.
