This means we no longer waste an extra file descriptor per worker process in the master. Now there''s no need to set a higher file descriptor limit for systems running >= 1024 workers. --- I just pushed this out to git://bogomips.org/unicorn.git and it''ll be in Unicorn 4.x. The subset of raindrops used by Unicorn should work on all machines with mmap(2) +

Hello all, Last week, I finally decided to put into motion some ideas I''ve been kicking around for a year in my head since last year... Basically I don''t want to have to deal with threads or support platforms that rely on or encourage threads. Especially given MRI 1.9 where kernel threads are more difficult to debug than green ones. Given the limited scope of this project,

Unicorn is a HTTP server for Rack applications designed to only serve fast clients on low-latency, high-bandwidth connections and take advantage of features in Unix/Unix-like kernels. Slow clients should only be served by placing a reverse proxy capable of fully buffering both the the request and response in between Unicorn and slow clients. * http://unicorn.bogomips.org/ * mongrel-unicorn at

Signaling using normal kill(2) is preserved, but the master now prefers to signal workers using a pipe rather than kill(2). Non-graceful signals (:TERM/:KILL) are still sent using kill(2), as they ask for immediate shutdown. This change is necessary to avoid triggering the ubf (unblocking function) for rb_thread_call_without_gvl (and similar) functions extensions. Most notably, this fixes

I''ve been meaning to test this setup somewhere for a while, but never got the right app/(real) traffic/hardware to do it with. So maybe somebody can try it out and let us know if this works... It''s for applications running the same code/data on a cluster of machines, so this doesn''t apply to the majority of low-traffic sites out there. The goal is to avoid having to

Can you guys test this out? Thanks. I''ll make a real 4.3.1 release tomorrow. >From RubyGems.org: gem install --pre unicorn ChangeLog since v4.3.0: commit 4551c8ad4d63d4031c618f76d39532b39e88f9be Author: Eric Wong <normalperson at yhbt.net> Date: Fri Apr 27 14:42:38 2012 -0700 stream_input: call shutdown(2) if a client EOFs on us In case the Rack app forks

Changes: Rewindable "rack.input" may be disabled via the "rewindable_input false" directive in the configuration file. This will violate Rack::Lint for Rack 1.x applications, but can reduce I/O for applications that do not need a rewindable input. This release updates us to the Kgio 2.x series which should play more nicely with other libraries and applications. There are

See Rack documentation for more information about hijacking.

I''m putting together a small web frontend for a client to upload files into an existing application. It''s trivial - there will never be more than a (small) handful of concurrent connections, but I need a streaming rack.input for upload progress on files up to 500MB or so. I was planning on using Rainbows! with ThreadSpawn and worker_connections=1, then noticed that unicorn is

Streaming works with Unicorn + Apache. Both with and without deflating. My understanding is that Unicorn + Apache is not a good combination though because Apache does not buffer, and thus Unicorn has no fast client in front. (I don''t know which is the ultimate technical reason Unicorn puts such an emphasis on fast clients, but will do some research about it.) I have seen in

Hi All, as I can see on https://github.com/defunkt/unicorn/blob/master/lib/unicorn.rb#L53 the?Rack::CommonLogger used only in development env and in weird evn called "deployment". Any chance to add "production" to this case? Serg Podtynnyi

Hello all, I''ve released kgio, a kinder, gentler I/O library for Ruby. Some of its features are useful for Unicorn, and all of it is useful for Rainbows! I intend to make kgio a requirement for both Unicorn and Rainbows!/Zbatery. I''m comfortable with the code, but extra testers and extra eyes to review it would be helpful (it''s nearly all C). There were several

Consider this a joke until somebody who knows crypto well can review it (_and_ kgio-monkey[1]). I know it works with curl (test case included) and I can''t see plain-text when I strace/tcpdump, that''s about it :) Subject: [PATCH] add preliminary SSL support This will also be the foundation of SSL support in Rainbows! and Zbatery. Some users may also want to use this in Unicorn

Changes: The new check_client_connection option allows unicorn to detect most disconnected local clients before potentially expensive application processing begins. This feature is useful for applications experiencing spikes of traffic leading to undesirable queue times, as clients will disconnect (and perhaps even retry, compounding the problem) before unicorn can even start processing the

This is a slow client buffering layer which may be used instead of nginx to protect Unicorn from slow clients. Nightmare! will _never_ beat nginx in raw throughput nor performance. It /may/ be easier to setup than nginx and a suitable alternative to Rainbows! for users who do not wish to maintain a thread-safe/async-safe Rack application. Code changes to the existing Unicorn codebase are

Hi all, Some of you are wondering about the future of the project, especially since we''re nearing a 1.0 release. == 1.x - bugfixes and Rack-compatibility synchronization The 1.x series will focus mainly on bug fixes and compatibility with Rack as it evolves. If Rack drops the rewindability requirement of "rack.input", Unicorn will follow ASAP and allow TeeInput to be

Hello all, I''m wondering if you deploy nginx: 1) on the same machine that runs unicorn (exclusively proxying to that) 2) on a different machine that doesn''t run unicorn 3) both, nginx could forward to either to localhost or another host on the same LAN And of course, the reason(s) you chose what you chose. I''m inclined to believe many folks are on 1) simply
