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/](http://unicorn.bogomips.org/) - removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid - git://git.bogomips.org/unicorn.git Changes: Mostly internal cleanups and documentation updates. Irrelevant stacktraces from client disconnects/errors while reading “rack.input” are now cleared to avoid unnecessary noise. If user switching in workers is used, ownership of logs is now preserved when reopening worker logs (send USR1 only to the the master in this case). The timeout config no longer affects long after\_fork hooks or application startups. New features include the addition of the :umask option for the “listen” config directive and error reporting for non-portable socket options. No ponies have ever been harmed in our development. Eric W. (28): unicorn.1: document RACK\_ENV changes in 0.94.0 HACKING: update with “gmake” in examples don’t nuke children for long after\_fork and app loads local.mk.sample: steal some updates from Rainbows! Load Unicorn constants when building app tee\_input: fix RDoc argument definition for tee Add FAQ FAQ: fix links to Configurator docs tee\_input: better premature disconnect handling tee\_input: don’t shadow struct members raise Unicorn::ClientShutdown if client aborts in TeeInput tee\_input: fix comment from an intermediate commit FAQ: additional notes on getting HTTPS redirects right configurator: update RDoc and comments in examples bump version to 0.95.0pre configurator: listen :umask parameter for UNIX sockets preserve user/group ownership when reopening logs old\_rails/static: avoid freezing strings old\_rails: autoload Static const: no need to freeze HTTP\_EXPECT test\_server: ensure stderr is written to before reading tee\_input: expand client error handling replace “rescue =\> e” with “rescue Object =\> e” socket\_helper: do not hide errors when setting socket options socket\_helper: RDoc for constants ClientShutdown: RDoc Rakefile: add raa\_update task tee\_input: client\_error always raises
