Unicorn 3.1.0 - client_buffer_body_size tuning

Ruby
1

Unicorn is an 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.

Changes:

This release enables tuning the client_buffer_body_size to raise
or lower the threshold for buffering request bodies to disk.
This only applies to users who have not disabled rewindable
input. There is also a TeeInput bugfix for uncommon usage
patterns and Configurator examples in the FAQ should be fixed.

Just be curious about the product name.
why don’t call it unicom?
unicom is far easier for remembering since it’s a main ISP name here. :slight_smile:

Is that so? You’d better write to the OGRE developers too.

There’s no shiny website, commercial support, or even a web-based
bug tracker, so of course it’s not ready for actual use! :>

Anyways, in case somebody wanted to know how I named it:

I originally wanted to call it “Unicron”, in honor of a track posted by
a Kiwi[1] many years ago to a Usenet group we frequented:

http://unicorn.bogomips.org/unicron.mp3

I swapped the “ro” for “or” because:
a) it might be confused as a “cron”-workalike
b) I could get sued by whoever owns the rights to the name (Hasbro?)

The “Uni” has two meanings:

  1. it signifies “one”, being single-threaded compared to its ancestor
  2. it shares 3 characters with its intended platform: UNIX

Of course, unicorns are awesome, too :slight_smile: It’s also a constant
reminder to never take things too seriously ;>

if you guys like it :slight_smile:
