2009-03-17Allow binding to UNIX sockets relative to "~"
This is to be consistent with the existing "pid" and std{err,out}_path options which also take paths relative to "~"
2009-03-10HttpRequest: update comment regarding short writes v0.1.0
Or lack thereof on POSIX.
2009-03-10HttpRequest: set binmode on tempfiles
Just in case this stupid Ruby 1.9-ism creeps up on someone; I haven't been able to reproduce I/O corruption from the test cases, but better safe than sorry here.
2009-03-09Configurator: document reasons for lowering backlog
2009-03-09Unicorn::Configurator: documentation
2009-03-04Add before_exec hook
This is useful for freeing certain resources you do NOT want passed to child processes.
2009-03-04Remove "directory" config option
Unicorn will always continue to run in the directory it started in, it does not chdir to "/". Since the default start_ctx[:cwd] is symlink-aware, this should not be a problem for Capistrano-deployed applications.
2009-03-03configurator: update the per-worker listen example
The config file format changed from add_listener => listen.
2009-03-03Add configurator test
2009-03-03Allow stderr_path and stdout_path to be set in the config
As opposed to doing this in the shell, this allows the files to be reopened reliably after rotation. While we're at it, use $stderr/$stdout instead of STDERR/STDOUT since they seem to be more favored.
2009-03-03Load the app _after_ forking workers by default
This means processes will share less memory but things should be compatible with all existing setups.
2009-03-03Add Unicorn::Util for a reopen_logs method
Since I use it myself and also in the tests, we might as well implement it correctly as a class method so people can run it in their trap('USR2') hooks.
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.
2009-02-23Allow overriding :directory or via -C/--directory
This allows Unicorn to be constantly started in symlink paths such as the ones Capistrano creates (e.g. "/u/apps/$app/current")
2009-02-21revamp configuration with Configurator DSL
The Configurator includes error checking and opens the way for better reloading/error-checking abilities. This also renames many of the config settings with something nginx-like to minimize the learning/setup curve since nginx is the only recommended reverse-proxy for this. s/pid_file/pid/ => blech!, more confusing :< s/listen_backlog/backlog/ => maybe more confusing to some, or less... s/nr_workers/worker_processes/ => less confusing to non-AWKers for sure s/hot_config_file/config_file/ => the config file is now general purpose, not just hot reloads
2009-02-21Register default constants in Const module
This will make setting some of this easier to deal with in the executable.
2009-02-21socket: make bind_listen idempotent, really
2009-02-14HttpResponse: remove crack-addled HTTP_STATUS_HEADERS hash
This also fixes a subtle bug in header generation when the +$,+ ($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.
2009-02-13Remove tempfile reuse from HttpRequest, upload tests
Tempfile reuse was over-engineered and the problem was not nearly as big a problem as initially thought. Additionally, it could lead to a subtle bug in an applications that link(2)s or rename(2)s the temporary file to a permanent location _without_ closing it after the request is done. Applications that suffer from the problem of directory bloat are still free to modify ENV['TMPDIR'] to influence the creation of Tempfiles.
2009-02-09SocketHelper: unlink UNIX sockets if they exist
We may have stale UNIX sockets leftover since we don't clean those up at_exit. So unlink them if we didn't inherit one.
2009-02-09update version and changelog
2009-02-09factor out FD_CLOEXEC into SocketHelper module
We'll be using this flag with a pipe, too.
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...
2009-02-09HttpRequest: restart read(2) on EINTR
Since we handle signals, read(2) syscalls can fail on sockets with EINTR. Restart the call if we hit this.
2009-02-09Refactor HTTP Request processing into HttpRequest
Keeping I/O out of unicorn.rb
2009-02-09Skip EINTR/EAGAIN handling with syswrite
I'll be removing signal handling from worker processes...
2009-02-09Use a persistent buffer with HttpRequest
This allows us to avoid the overhead of allocating a new buffer each and every time we call sysread (even when just parsing headers for GET requests).
2009-02-09Use read(2) and blocking I/O for clients
Unicorn is only designed for fast internal networks (and loopback); so avoid wasting time with userspace I/O buffering. This should not significantly affect userspace threading on 1.8 in case your application itself is running threads for some (masochistic) reason as long as the clients you're serving directly with Unicorn are fast.
2009-02-09socket: temporary UNIX sockets use ".#{$$}.tmp"
Instead of ".#{$$}" as the suffix. This makes it clearer that it's a temporary name and also so we can use per-process sockets to make debugging easier.
2009-02-09HttpRequest#reset! => HttpRequest#reset
Keep this somewhat consistent with the HttpParser API which also exposes #reset instead of #reset!
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.
2009-02-09Internally supporting binding to UNIX domain sockets
Additionally, provide Socket#unicorn_addr which makes it easy to determine whether a given Socket matches one in the config.
2009-02-09Move portability and override Socket stuff to unicorn/socket
We'll be supporting UNIX domain sockets soon... Get rid of tcphack since it was overriding a default method and just manually call Socket.new, bind, listen ourselves. Additionaly, use SO_REUSEADDR when binding since it is convenient for restarts.
2009-02-09Make HttpRequest object (and temp files) persistent
This will help prevent TMPDIR from becoming bloated when handling thousands of large uploads a day. This is a problem in many UNIX filesystems (including ext3): names of entries never expire even after files are gone and the only way to clear it is to get rid of the directory itself.
2009-02-09Don't set SCRIPT_NAME to "/" and then clear it for Rack
It's pointless...
2009-02-09HttpRequest: avoid repeated hash lookups for HTTP_BODY
read_body can be a long-running loop; so avoid wasting CPU cycles by repeatedly performing a hash lookup to get to a temporary buffer.
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...
2009-02-09Remove threading and use worker processes instead
All tests for threading and semaphores have been removed. One test was changed because it depended on a shared variable. Tests will be replaced with tests to do process management instead.
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.
