The one minor bugfix is only for Rails 2.3.x+ users who set the
RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT environment variable in a config file.
Users of the "--path" switch or those who set the environment
variable in the shell were unaffected by this bug. Note that we
still don't have relative URL root support for Rails < 2.3, and
are unlikely to bother with it unless there is visible demand
for it.
New features includes support for :tries and :delay when
specifying a "listen" in an after_fork hook. This was inspired
by Chris Wanstrath's example of binding per-worker listen
sockets in a loop while migrating (or upgrading) Unicorn.
Setting a negative value for :tries means we'll retry the listen
indefinitely until the socket becomes available.
So you can do something like this in an after_fork hook:
after_fork do |server, worker|
addr = "127.0.0.1:#{9293 + worker.nr}"
server.listen(addr, :tries => -1, :delay => 5)
end
There's also the usual round of added documentation, packaging
fixes, code cleanups, small fixes and minor performance
improvements that are viewable in the "git log" output.

TCP ports are always integers, and it was always allowing a
randomly-generated value of 8080 through in the unused_port
method of test_helper.
|
|
:delay may be a Float to represent fractional seconds.
|
|
We now give an example of how a before_fork hook can be used
to incrementally migrate off the old code base without hitting
a thundering herd (especially in the "preload_app false") case.
Also comment on the per-worker listen usage in the RDoc, not
just a hidden comment.
|
|
It's compatible with both Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 without
needing a Range object.
|
|
We no longer have external lookups for it so just stick it in
the DEFAULTS hash for now. Since the Configurator::DEFAULTS
hash can be considered a stable interface for other modules to
interact with, they can eventually just use it instead of
relying on another constant.
|
|
Hopefuly make it more obvious that they're Ruby symbols and not
strings. While we're at it, fix ordering of :{rcv,snd}buf
descriptions to (logically) match the order of mention.

* Use the new :tries and :default parameters for listen()
instead of the ugly and less-effective "rescue nil"
* ActiveRecord connection management examples for hooks when
using for "preload_app true"
* combine "preload_app true" example with REE COW-friendly
optimization for memory savings
Some of these are based on Chris Wanstrath's configuration
posted here: http://gist.github.com/189623

Array#concat avoids an intermediate Array object from being
allocated (yes, still supporting Rails <= 1.2.x apps...)
|
|
Our HttpResponse class interprets non-Integer string status
now as well as falling back if it can't be looked up.
|
|
It really shouldn't be a problem for existing CGI apps
to write to the StringIO object..
|
|
We've started using magic comments to ensure any strings we
create are binary instead. Additionally, ensure we create any
StringIO objects with an explicit string (which default to
binary) to ensure the StringIO object is binary. This is
because StringIO.new (with no arguments) will always use the
process-wide default encoding since it does not know about
magic comments (and couldn't, really...)
|
|
Avoids making the #listen method any noisier than it should be.
|
|
This may be redundant for the "normal" configuration file
directive, but allows the same syntax to be used in after_fork
hooks where HttpServer#listen() may be called.
|
|
This allows per-worker listeners to be configured to retry and
and not continue until the equivalent worker belonging to a
previous master (or even another server) has released the
socket.
In the Configurator RDoc, include better examples for
per-worker server.listen calls using these :tries == -1.
Inspired by an example by Chris Wanstrath.

We don't need the Z constant anymore and inlining the header
writing gives a small overall performance improvement in
microbenchmarks. This also makes this method reentrant and
thread-safe for Rainbows as well.
|
|
It is simpler and even slightly faster in micro benchmarks
when inlined.
|
|
One less thing to RDoc
|
|
We changed this in 97e469fc3afb751618b8b9a7b364cb447aaf90dd
but never updated the example.

Small fixes and documentation are the focus of this release.
James Golick reported and helped me track down a bug that caused
SIGHUP to drop the default listener (0.0.0.0:8080) if and only
if listeners were completely unspecified in both the
command-line and Unicorn config file. The Unicorn config file
remains the recommended option for specifying listeners as it
allows fine-tuning of the :backlog, :rcvbuf, :sndbuf,
:tcp_nopush, and :tcp_nodelay options.
There are some documentation (and resulting website)
improvements. setup.rb users will notice the new section 1
manpages for `unicorn` and `unicorn_rails`, Rubygems users
will have to install manpages manually or use the website.
The HTTP parser got a 3rd-party code review which resulted in
some cleanups and one insignificant bugfix as a result.
Additionally, the HTTP parser compiles, runs and passes unit
tests under Rubinius. The pure-Ruby parts still do not work yet
and we currently lack the resources/interest to pursue this
further but help will be gladly accepted.
The website now has an Atom feed for new release announcements.
Those unfamiliar with Atom or HTTP may finger unicorn@bogomips.org
for the latest announcements.

This gives applications more rope to play with in case they have
any reasons for changing some values of the default constants.
Freezing strings for Hash assignments still speeds up MRI, so
we'll keep on doing that for now (and as long as MRI supports
frozen strings, I expect them to always be faster for Hashes
though I'd be very happy to be proven wrong...)
|
|
We may add support for the Gopher protocol in the future...
|
|
This can hide bugs in Rack applications/middleware. Most other
Rack handlers/servers seem to follow this route as well, so
this helps ensure broken things will break loudly and more
consistently across all Rack-enabled servers :)
|
|
This ensures any string literals that pop up in *our* code will
just be a bag of bytes. This shouldn't affect/fix/break
existing apps in most cases, but most constants will always have
the "correct" encoding (none!) to be consistent with HTTP/socket
expectations. Since this comment affects things only on a
per-source basis, it won't affect existing apps with the
exception of strings we pass to the Rack application.
This will eventually allow us to get rid of that Unicorn::Z
constant, too.

HTTP/0.9 GET requests expect responses without headers. Some
weird applications/tools still use the ancient HTTP/0.9
protocol for weird reasons, so we'll support them.
ref: rfc 1945, section 4.1

Otherwise errors in the Unicorn-specific config files can get
error messages swallowed up when daemonizing.
|
|
the docs for the TeeInput class was clobbering the Unicorn
module documentation instead.
|
|
|
|
Since Rack permits body objects to have #close called on
them, we can safely close our pipe readers immediately
instead of waiting on the GC to close them (like we do for
TeeInput tempfiles).
|
|
Rack is autoload-based and so are we.
|
|
|
|
This lets clients can pass through newly-invented status codes
that Rack does not know about.
|
|
|
|
TeeInput being needed is now (once again) an uncommon code path
so there's no point in relying on global constants. While we're
at it, allow StringIO to be used in the presence of small
inputs; too.
|
|
This makes a noticeable difference on light GET/HEAD requests.
Heck, even the tests run a few seconds faster.
|
|
This method is strictly a filter, it does no I/O so "read"
is not an appropriate name to give it.
|
|
This should be more robust, faster and easier to deal
with than the ugly proof-of-concept regexp-based ones.
|
|
|
|
"/dev/null" must be opened in binary mode for Rack-compliance.
Additionally, avoid '' to create an empty string and use
Unicorn::Z instead.

With the 1.9.2preview1 release (and presumably 1.9.1 p243), the
Ruby core team has decided that bending over backwards to
support crippled operating/file systems was necessary and that
files must be closed before unlinking.
Regardless, this is more efficient than using Tempfile because:
1) no delegation is necessary, this is a real File object
2) no mkdir is necessary for locking, we can trust O_EXCL
to work properly without unnecessary FS activity
3) no finalizer is needed to unlink the file, we unlink
it as soon as possible after creation.
|
|
Regexps can be run against nil just fine
|
|
Anything that calls close on a rack.input body is violating
Rack::Lint; so don't waste cycles supporting them. Being
liberal in things we accept tolerates bad behavior and Unicorn
doesn't have a large userbase that would scream bloody murder if
we stopped supporting broken behavior.
|
|
This simplifies chunked_reader substantially with a slight
increase in tee_input complexity. This is beneficial because
chunked_reader is more complex to begin with and more likely
to experience correctness issues.
|
|
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.

Now that we support tunnelling arbitrary protocols over HTTP as
well as "100 Continue" responses, TCP_NODELAY actually becomes
useful to us. TCP_NODELAY is actually reasonably portable
nowadays; even.
While we're adding non-portable options, TCP_CORK/TCP_NOPUSH can
be enabled, too. Unlike some other servers, these can't be
disabled explicitly/intelligently to force a flush, however.
However, these may still improve performance with "normal" HTTP
applications (Mongrel has always had TCP_CORK enabled in Linux).
While we're adding OS-specific features, we might as well
support TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT in Linux and FreeBSD the "httpready"
accept filter to prevent abuse.
These options can all be enabled on a per-listener basis.

There's a small memory reduction to be had when forking
oodles of processes and the Perl hacker in me still
gets confused into thinking those are arrays...
