2009-06-29chunked_reader: simpler interface
This won't be heavily used enough to make preallocation worth the effort. While we're at it, don't enforce policy by forcing the readpartial buffer to be Encoding::BINARY (even though it /should/ be :), it's up to the user of the interface to decide.
2009-06-29configurator: provide stream_input (true|false) option
The default is false because some applications were not written to handle partial reads (even though IO#read allows it, not just IO#readpartial).
2009-06-29inetd: fix broken constant references
This has been totally broken since commit b0013b043a15d77d810d5965157766c1af364db2 "Avoid duplicating the "Z" constant"
2009-06-29tee_input: avoid rereading fresh data
Oops!
2009-06-29Make TeeInput easier to use
The complexity of making the object persistent isn't worth the potential performance gain here.
2009-06-29tee_input: avoid defining a @rd.size method
We don't ever expose the @rd object to the public so Rack-applications won't ever call size() on it.
2009-06-25exec_cgi: small cleanups
* avoid '' strings for GC-friendliness * Ensure the '' we do need is binary for 1.9 * Disable passing the raw rack.input object to the child process This is never possible with our new TeeInput wrapper.
2009-06-25tee_input: Don't expose the @rd object as a return value
Pay a performance penalty and always proxy reads through our TeeInput object to ensure nobody closes our internal reader.
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.
2009-06-09Avoid duplicating the "Z" constant
Trying not to repeat ourselves. Unfortunately, Ruby 1.9 forces us to actually care about encodings of arbitrary byte sequences.
2009-06-06Put copyright text in new files, include GPL2 text
Just clarifying the license terms of the new code. Other files should really have this notice in there as well.
2009-06-06Unicorn::App::Inetd: reinventing Unix, poorly :)
This includes an example of tunneling the git protocol inside a TE:chunked HTTP request. The example is unfortunately contrived in that it relies on the custom examples/cat-chunk-proxy.rb script in the client. My initial wish was to have a generic tool like curl(1) operate like this: cat > ~/bin/cat-chunk-proxy.sh <<EOF #!/bin/sh exec curl -sfNT- http://$1:$2/ EOF chmod +x ~/bin/cat-chunk-proxy.sh GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=cat-chunk-proxy.sh git clone git://0:8080/foo Unfortunately, curl will attempt a blocking read on stdin before reading the TCP socket; causing the git-clone consumer to starve. This does not appear to be a problem with the new server code for handling chunked requests.
2009-06-05Transfer-Encoding: chunked streaming input support
This adds support for handling POST/PUT request bodies sent with chunked transfer encodings ("Transfer-Encoding: chunked"). Attention has been paid to ensure that a client cannot OOM us by sending an extremely large chunk. This implementation is pure Ruby as the Ragel-based implementation in rfuzz didn't offer a streaming interface. It should be reasonably close to RFC-compliant but please test it in an attempt to break it. The more interesting part is the ability to stream data to the hosted Rack application as it is being transferred to the server. This can be done regardless if the input is chunked or not, enabling the streaming of POST/PUT bodies can allow the hosted Rack application to process input as it receives it. See examples/echo.ru for an example echo server over HTTP. Enabling streaming also allows Rack applications to support upload progress monitoring previously supported by Mongrel handlers. Since Rack specifies that the input needs to be rewindable, this input is written to a temporary file (a la tee(1)) as it is streamed to the application the first time. Subsequent rewinded reads will read from the temporary file instead of the socket. Streaming input to the application is disabled by default since applications may not necessarily read the entire input body before returning. Since this is a completely new feature we've never seen in any Ruby HTTP application server before, we're taking the safe route by leaving it disabled by default. Enabling this can only be done globally by changing the Unicorn HttpRequest::DEFAULTS hash: Unicorn::HttpRequest::DEFAULTS["unicorn.stream_input"] = true Similarly, a Rack application can check if streaming input is enabled by checking the value of the "unicorn.stream_input" key in the environment hashed passed to it. All of this code has only been lightly tested and test coverage is lacking at the moment. [1] - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-3.6.1
2009-06-05http_request: fix typo for 1.9
2009-05-31http_request: StringIO is binary for empty bodies (1.9)
2009-05-30http_request: no need to reset the request
That method no longer exists, but Ruby would never know until it tried to run it. Yes, I miss my compiled languages.
2009-05-28unicorn 0.8.1 v0.8.1
2009-05-28Make our HttpRequest object a global constant
This should be faster/cheaper than using an instance variable since it's accessed in a critical code path. Unicorn was never designed to be reentrant or thread-safe at all, either.
2009-05-26unicorn 0.8.0 v0.8.0
2009-05-25Switch to autoload to defer requires
This should prevent Rack from being required too early on so "-I" being passed through the unicorn command-line can modify $LOAD_PATH for Rack

2009-05-22http_response: allow string status codes
Rack::Lint says they just have to work when to_i is called on the status, so that's what we'll do.
2009-05-22Enforce minimum timeout at 3 seconds
2 seconds is still prone to race conditions under high load. We're intentionally less accurate than we could be in order to reduce syscall and method dispatch overhead.
2009-05-22configurator: fix rdoc formatting
2009-05-22Preserve 1.9 IO encodings in reopen_logs
Ensure we preserve both internal and external encodings when reopening logs.
2009-05-22Safer timeout handling and test case
Timeouts of less than 2 seconds are unsafe due to the lack of subsecond resolution in most POSIX filesystems. This is the trade-off for using a low-complexity solution for timeouts. Since this type of timeout is a last resort; 2 seconds is not entirely unreasonable IMNSHO. Additionally, timing out too aggressively can put us in a fork loop and slow down the system. Of course, the default is 60 seconds and most people do not bother to change it.
2009-05-22app/old_rails: correctly log errors in output
"out" was an invalid variable in that context...
2009-05-22app/exec_cgi: GC prevention
Don't allow newly created IO objects to get GC'ed and subsequently close(2)-ed. We're not reopening the {$std,STD}{in,out,err} variables since those can't be trusted to have fileno 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
2009-05-13privatize constants only used by old_rails/static
Unicorn proper no longer needs these constants, so don't bother with them.
2009-05-13http_response: allow string status codes
Rack::Lint says they just have to work when to_i is called on the status, so that's what we'll do.
2009-05-13Require Rack for HTTP Status codes
Preventing needless duplication since Rack already has these codes for us. Also, put the status codes in HttpResponse since nothing else needs (or should need) them.
2009-05-11exec_cgi: don't assume the body#each consumer is a socket
If we're using middleware that pushes the body into an array, bad things will happen if we're clobbering the string for each iteration of body#each.
2009-05-11HttpRequest::DEF_PARAMS => HttpRequest::DEFAULTS
Give this a more palatable name and unfreeze it, allowing users to modify it more easily.
2009-05-10Enforce minimum timeout at 3 seconds
2 seconds is still prone to race conditions under high load. We're intentionally less accurate than we could be in order to reduce syscall and method dispatch overhead.
2009-05-10app/exec_cgi: use explicit buffers for read/sysread
This reduces garbage generation to improve performance. Rack 1.0 allows InputWrapper to read with an explicit buffer.
2009-05-10http_request: use Rack::InputWrapper-compatible methods
This allows alternative I/O implementations to be easier to use with Unicorn...

2009-05-04Preserve 1.9 IO encodings in reopen_logs
Ensure we preserve both internal and external encodings when reopening logs.
2009-05-04Inline and remove the HttpRequest#reset method
These potentially leaves an open file handle around until the next request hits the process, but this makes the common case faster.

2009-05-03http_request: switch to readpartial over sysread
readpartial is actually as low-level as sysread is, except it's less likely to throw exceptions and won't change the blocking/non-blocking status of a file descriptor (we explicitly enable blocking I/O)
2009-05-03http_response: luserspace buffering is barely faster
Simpler code on our end can be just a tick faster because syscalls are still not as cheap as normal functions and this still manages to play well with our lack of keepalive support as closing the socket will flush it immediately.
2009-05-03http_request: avoid StringIO.new for GET/HEAD requests
Since the vast majority of web traffic is GET/HEAD requests without bodies, avoid creating a StringIO object for every single request that comes in.

2009-04-25Rack 1.0.0 compatibility
Keep in mind that it's plenty possible to use Unicorn as a library without using Rack itself. Most of the unit tests do not depend on Rack, for example.
2009-04-24configurator: "listen" directive more nginx-like
