0.8.4 introduced an incompatibility with WebTest as WebTest subclasses WSGIServer as webtest.http.StopableWSGIServer. This commit introduces changes to make WSGIServer subclassable once more by making the signature of BaseWSGIServer's __init__ method compatible with the pre-0.8.4 WSGIServer class, and by making WSGIServer an alias of TcpWSGIServer. This method was suggested and chosen from a discussion with Laurence Rowe (@lrowe).
default value prevents asyncore from needing to execute select so many times to serve large files, speeding up file serving by about 15%-20% or so. This is probably only an optimization for LAN communications, and could slow things down across a WAN (due to higher TCP overhead), but we're likely to be behind a reverse proxy on a LAN anyway if in production. - Added an (undocumented) profiling feature to the ``serve()`` command.
flushed when the client could not accept the entire contents of the output buffer in a single succession of socket.send calls when the channel was in a "pending close" state. The socket in such a case would be closed prematurely, sometimes resulting in partially delivered content. This was discovered by a user using waitress behind an Nginx reverse proxy, which apparently is not always ready to receive data. The symptom was that he received "half" of a large CSS file (110K) while serving content via waitress behind the proxy.
~~~~~~~~ - Dont hang a thread up trying to send data to slow clients. - Use self.logger to log socket errors instead of self.log_info (normalize). - Remove pointless handle_error method from channel. - Queue requests instead of tasks in a channel. Bug Fixes ~~~~~~~~~ - Expect: 100-continue responses were broken.
~~~~~~~~~ - Set up logging by calling logging.basicConfig() when ``serve`` is called (show tracebacks and other warnings to console by default). - Disallow WSGI applications to set "hop-by-hop" headers (Connection, Transfer-Encoding, etc). - Don't treat 304 status responses specially in HTTP/1.1 mode. - Remove out of date ``interfaces.py`` file. - Normalize logging (all output is now sent to the ``waitress`` logger rather than in degenerate cases some output being sent directly to stderr). Features ~~~~~~~~ - Support HTTP/1.1 ``Transfer-Encoding: chunked`` responses. - Slightly better docs about logging.
