PRE-RELEASE: lighttpd-1.5.0-r1691.tar.gz 8

Posted by jan Fri, 23 Feb 2007 09:18:00 GMT

A new pre-release on the road to stabilize 1.5.0.

http://www.lighttpd.net/download

Most of the work went into mod-proxy-core and new platforms:

  • m-p-c can handle uploads via APJ13 which required some larger patches
  • we should compile fine on solaris and IRIX again
  • kqueue should work too again
  • we compile natively on win32 (staticly and dynamicly)

The is the first official release that compiles natively on win32. Read the instructions on docs/build-win32.txt if you want to build yourself. It even starts :)

I have to say thanks to all the testers on the IRC channel, to jtiai for the win32 patches and jakabosky for the hard work on mod-proxy-core.

ChangeLog

  • added mod_cgi again
  • added cmake on win32 (static and dynamic)
  • fixed http-chunk decoding
  • fixed several hangs when compression is used
  • fixed invalid Content-Length headers in Range-responses
  • fixed handling of out-of-fds
  • fixed support for Solaris and compilation on IRIX
  • fixed the kqueue event-handler
  • fixed mem-leak in Range requests
  • fixed EFAULT in gthread-aio

    Compiles on gentoo, but still the same problem, that index files are not passed to proxy core. As the pcre check of proxy core is processed before mod_index_file changes the real path. No matter of the module list order.

    hello.

    i wrote a python fastcgi spawner, whivh uses an ini file to read up all the unique settings per vhost.

    i think the lighttpd community would find it useful, maybe it could be put in the source tarball as a helper code for easier virtualhost php spawning.

    where can i upload it for further examination?

    regards,
    Laszlo

    ps.: keep up the good work with lighty, its the most useful and fastest webserver in the market.

    hey, i like this webserver, its fast and uses littly memory. but the problem still exists whit file uploading to fastcgi :(

    Thanks for the GREAT LIghty. Please consider instead of including mod_cgi, instead include a FASTCGI server that does nothing but servers cgi. This way you keep any slow cgi out of lighty.

    @Laszlo:
    I am very interested in a cross-platform spawning script, especially if it is our beloved and fast Python ;)
    You can easily upload and share your script here:

    If you want to make a real project with Issue Tracker, Wiki, Subversion repository and download area out of it, I recommend Google Project Hosting, it's a matter of minutes:

    You can take my MySQL Log Filter script as example if you want:

    Best regards,
