Aloha. The current CVS snapshot and 1.0-test14 will not build on Solaris 8 because it does not provide a sendfile() funtion. It just has sendfilev(). Solaris 9 has sendfile(), though. Using the old sendfile-util.c from 1.0-test1 and setting HAVE_SOLARIS_SENDFILEV instead of HAVE_LINUX_SENDFILE in config.h works. Greetings, Andy.

I have found a package called sendfile that let you send files over network. It installs a prog called sendfile to send and a daemon called sendfiled, called on demand by inetd. I''d like to know if this package is security safe C.Leroy Source can be found at URL: ftp://ftp2.ibp.fr/pub/linux/sunsite/Incoming/sendfile-1.5.tar.gz

Hello, I have a working mongrel cluster and want to use Lighty as the frontend webserver. I want ligthttpd to deliver the static content. So I did gem install sendfile --remote Everything installed. But if I run the tests like gem check sendfile --test --debug i get the following error message: Exception `Errno::ENOSYS'' at ./test/test_sendfile.rb:75 - Function not implemented -

Hi all, sendfile() could be enabled in NGINX(https://www.sobyte.net/post/2022-08/nginx-send/). It could improves the performance since it could optimize to transfer data to user space. Up to now, sendfile() isn?t supported in OpenSSH yet. Will it be supported in the future? Best Regards Haojian

Hi everyone, I try to use the "X-Sendfile" header, but it doesn''t work as expected. In my controller: path = "/home/bruno/file.tar.gz" headers[''X-Sendfile''] = path headers[''Content-Type''] = "application/octet-stream" headers[''Content-Length''] = File.size(path) render :nothing => true When I request

Mates, I'm trying to learn a little more. I have 3.0.7 running on Mandrake 7.2. I could see all the shares, but couldn't access the files "sendfile failed". I set use sendfile = No and all is well. I have a separate system Suse 9.0 pro with use sendfile = yes and I have no problems. What is the difference??? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E. RANKIN * BERTIN, PLLC 510 Ochiltree

I wrote an x-sendfile thing for the railshandler to get mongrel to catch the response header and stream out files from an application I''m writing but I''m pretty sure that zed said he''d built in x-sendfile somewhere already. I couldn''t find it, could someone lead me to it? Does mongrel work with SSL? If not is anyone interested in having someone write in SSL

At 4:00 every morning the 2 WinXP machines on my network generate a slew of queries to bad printer names. These names are variations on the name of a valid printer exported by Samba. Samba v3.0.10 is running on a RHEL4 system. It exports several shared drives and a single printer. The printer is named "lj4500", is managed by CUPS v1.1.22, and works correctly via Samba from both

Greetings! Is there a way to get RoR to redirect_to another action after doing a sendfile? My little app lets the user enter a bunch of data and then creates an XML file from it. I''m using sendfile to let the user download the XML file. Once they download the file I want to take them to a new view that presents a logout button that will trigger a cleanup. But it looks like RoR

Why in smbd/reply.c does send_file_readX only use sendfile if write cache size is 0? <snip> if (chain_size ==0 && (CVAL(inbuf,smb_vwv0) == 0xFF) && lp_use_sendfile( SNUM(conn)) && (lp_write_cache_size(SNUM(conn)) == 0) ) { </snip> While its true send_file_readX works regardless of the state of oplocks (which is cool!) the smb.conf.5

Hey - I need your input regarding a problem I''ve come across. I''ll first explain what the problem is, and what I think the solution is. If I misunderstood how things work, please let me know. # The problem I''m using Dragonfly (on-the-fly file processing) to serve images. Dragonfly uses Rack::Cache to cache the processed images so subsequent requests are served by

Hello everybody, I've setup a file server with Debian GNU/Linux (Sarge) and Samba v3.0.10 with ACL, Kerberos etc... so I can join the Windows 2000 domain. I can use users from domain on file server without problems and Windows 2000, XP clients can access Samba shares. But when I try to connect to \\fs from Windows 98 client (in domain) it requests password from me (\\fs\IPC$). I have

forgive me if this has been resolved already... I have an app that is using sendfile to return large files to customers. We can''t use regular Apache to handle this static content since the files are what the customers are paying for - so it wouldn''t be cool for anyone else to get access to them. The issue is that the mongrel mem footprint gets bloated when the files are

Hello Experts: I understand from the samba code (3.0.25) that we use sendfile during client's Read operation. Is there a reason for not using the same for write operation? Is it to do with header processing etc. Thanks for your feedback!

This is a short summary of an experiment that I did for the linker. One of the major tasks of the linker is to copy file contents from input object files to an output file. I was wondering what's the fastest way to copy data from one file to another, so I conducted an experiment. Currently, LLD copies file contents using memcpy (input files and an output file are mapped to memory.)

As to leave an opportunity for the kernel, I think mmap+write would be enough. Because the kernel knows what address is mmap'ed, it can detect that write's source is actually a mmap'ed file and if that's the case it can optimize as it does for sendfile. It seems that Linux doesn't do that now, though. I haven't thought about using non-temporal stores. It may work as we

i wrote a little camping app which serves the css, js and images statically using the Static class example i found on the camping wiki. everything works perfectly on my mac. once on windows the static files don''t get served. a 404 is returned. i have tried running the app using camping, webrick and mongrel, all give the same 404 response. here is an example value of X-Sendfile. I have

I have seen some folks on the list with what seems to be a similar issue as I have. I work in a large FX shop and this has been a problem for us since the 3.0.7 upgrade. If anyone has a known to work config, could you share your set up info please? Jerry what kernel, and other system bits versions do you test on? The system has a 2.4.21 kernel with xfs filesystems. It is a redhat 9 machine on

Hello, I had problems with speed of Samba, so I was looking for some solution and I had discovered "use sendfile" configuration option. I was checking all Samba release notes and I had discovered, that from some version (older than is in CentOS repo) this option was turned on as default. So my question is, why in CentOS 5.3 is that option in default set to off? Thank you for responses

A new TRAC entry with patch has been added (initially for Camping) to allow X-SendFile on Windows to use DirHandler to send files on drives other than the current drive, if the DirHandler base path is "/" (which is the way Camping uses DirHandler). As it was, "/" gets expanded to "C:/", and then you can''t serve files on any other drive, which I needed to do
