HTTP::Proxy::Engine::Legacy(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTTP::Proxy::Engine::Legacy(3pm)NAME
HTTP::Proxy::Engine::Legacy - The "older" HTTP::Proxy engine
SYNOPSIS
my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new( engine => 'Legacy' );
DESCRIPTION
This engine reproduces the older child creation algorithm of HTTP::Proxy.
Angelos Karageorgiou "<angelos@unix.gr>" reports:
I got the Legacy engine to work really fast under "Win32" with the following trick:
max_keep_alive_requests(1);
max_clients(120);
$HTTP::VERSION(1.0); # just in case
and it smokes.
It seems that forked children are really slow when calling select for handling "keep-alive"d requests!
METHODS
The module defines the following methods, used by HTTP::Proxy main loop:
start()
Initialise the engine.
run()
Implements the forking logic: a new process is forked for each new incoming TCP connection.
stop()
Reap remaining child processes.
The following method is used by the engine internally:
reap_zombies()
Process the dead child processes.
