Splits a request into subrequests, each providing a specific range of response.
The variable "$slice_range" must be used to set subrequest range and proper
cache key. The directive "slice" sets slice size.
The following example splits requests into 1-megabyte cacheable subrequests.
server {
listen 8000;
location / {
slice 1m;
proxy_cache cache;
proxy_cache_key $uri$is_args$args$slice_range;
proxy_set_header Range $slice_range;
proxy_cache_valid 200 206 1h;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000;
}
}
The function is now called ngx_parse_http_time(), and can be used by
any code to parse HTTP-style date and time. In particular, it will be
used for OCSP stapling.
For compatibility, a macro to map ngx_http_parse_time() to the new name
provided for a while.
It's now initialized in auto/options like the rest of variables
for system paths.
As a side effect, the currently unused macro NGX_SBIN_PATH now
gets the correct value.
With this change it's no longer needed to pass -D_GNU_SOURCE manually,
and -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 is set to use 64-bit off_t.
Note that nginx currently fails to work properly with master process
enabled on GNU Hurd, as fcntl(F_SETOWN) returns EOPNOTSUPP for sockets
as of GNU Hurd 0.6. Additionally, our strerror() preloading doesn't
work well with GNU Hurd, as it uses large numbers for most errors.
When configured, an individual listen socket on a given address is
created for each worker process. This allows to reduce in-kernel lock
contention on configurations with high accept rates, resulting in better
performance. As of now it works on Linux and DragonFly BSD.
Note that on Linux incoming connection requests are currently tied up
to a specific listen socket, and if some sockets are closed, connection
requests will be reset, see https://lwn.net/Articles/542629/. With
nginx, this may happen if the number of worker processes is reduced.
There is no such problem on DragonFly BSD.
Based on previous work by Sepherosa Ziehau and Yingqi Lu.
The code tried to use suffixes for "long" and "long long" types, but
it never worked as intended due to the bug in the shell code. Also,
the max value for any 64-bit type other than "long long" on platforms
with 32-bit "long" would be incorrect if the bug was fixed.
So instead of fixing the bug in the shell code, always use the "int"
constant for 32-bit types, and "long long" constant for 64-bit types.
It appeared that the NGX_HAVE_AIO_SENDFILE macro was defined regardless of
the "--with-file-aio" configure option and the NGX_HAVE_FILE_AIO macro.
Now they are related.
Additionally, fixed one macro.
Previous workaround to avoid warnings on OS X due to deprecated system
OpenSSL library (introduced in a3870ea96ccd) no longer works, as
the MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED macro is ignored on OS X 10.9
if a compiler used supports __attribute__(availability).
This fixes --with-file-aio support on systems that lack eventfd()
syscall, notably aarch64 Linux.
The syscall(SYS_eventfd) may still be necessary on systems that
have eventfd() syscall in the kernel but lack it in glibc, e.g.
as seen in the current CentOS 5 release.
