The common use-case for Kestrel in production will be behind a reverse proxy such as Nginx. In cases where the reverse proxy is located on the same machine as the application, connecting via a UNIX socket is more efficient than a TCP socket, as it avoids going through the network layer. Accessing 127.0.0.1 through TCP still needs to initiate a TCP connection and perform handshaking, checksumming, etc, all of which is avoided by using UNIX sockets.
- Moved TCP-specific stuff from Listener into new TcpListener class (same with ListenerPrimary and ListenerSecondary)
- Made Listener abstract
- Created new PipeListener. Note that while the use case is for UNIX sockets, this is called "Pipe" in uv, so I've called this "PipeListener" so the terminology is consistant
- Uses "unix" URL scheme to determine whether to use socket. "http://127.0.0.1:5000" is for listening via TCP while "unix:///var/run/kestrel-test.sock" is for listening via UNIX socket
#156
- Zero length writes would previously be interpreted as the end of response
- Optimize writing the chunked response suffix
- Add tests for automatic response chunking
- If OnStarting is being called after the app func has completed, return a 500.
- If Onstarting is being called due to a call to write, throw from write.
Calling uv_read_start on a named pipe with a larger than necessary buffer
would cause pieces of the next uv_ipc_frame_uv_stream struct to be read into
the uv_read_start buffer when a lot of tcp handles were passed quickly over
the pipe.
This prevented the struct from properly being queued for the next call to
uv_accept to consume. The empty queue caused the call to uv_accept in
ListenerSecondary to fail and return WSAEWOULDBLOCK leaving the connection
in a zombie state.
- Complete in this context means that the callback gets invoked.
- Previously, calls to write would never complete if the buffer contained
more than 64 KB (_maxBytesPreCompleted).
- This is tested by SocketOutputTests.CanWrite1MB.
