SYNOPSIS
my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new( engine => 'Legacy' );
DESCRIPTION
This engine reproduces the older child creation algorithm of HTTP::Proxy.Angelos Karageorgiou "<[email protected]>" 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.
