It’s been a while since my last entry<\/a> about harmonious and like-wise; a lot of work has been done.<\/p>\n

A large majority of the server basics have been implemented (some only partially): sessions, domain module loading, serving up static files and the templating engine. A couple of extras have also been added: restricted directories (very similar to Apache’s htaccess) and support for virtual hosts.<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, I’ve started to enjoy going to bed so I can lay there thinking up weird and wonderful ideas. That doesn’t mean I’m going to bed any earlier than usual though \ud83d\ude09 No doubt I’ll implement many in the future, persistent connections and SSL are both a must.<\/p>\n

Next up is getting the thing all threaded up, my current ideas for how to do this goes a little something this…<\/p>\n

As the server starts up, it starts a base number of worker threads that sit there waiting to processes requests that enter the queue (this is how CherryPy works). If a request comes in and there is another request waiting in the queue for a thread to process it, the server will create a new worker thread. At scheduled intervals the server will check each worker thread to see if it’s processing a request or not, if two or more are not doing anything, the server will kill one or two of them. The server can either have a max-threads configuration option set or allow the server to find the optimal amount of worker threads by monitoring the average time taken to process requests. <\/p>\n

I have a feeling the server will be need to be under some pretty intense loads (and hence a large number of threads) before it decides on an optimal amount of threads. Heh, I’m not even too sure the server *will* be able to discern an optimal amount, I don’t know enough about the effects threading has on the system. Comments are welcome on this.<\/p>\n

As for GLSR (GLEP 15), we have it running on Harmonious which was a rather painless process. Scott Hadfield (hadfield) even commented that he enjoyed coding with the Harmonious framework. I couldn’t agree more, it feels a lot cleaner and more organised than that pure CGI crap we were using before. Though I’m biased \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

On a personal note, I’m off on holiday for 1 week in the Italian alps, tomorrow. My first in 3 years! I’ll try my hardest to uphold the typical drunken-Englishman stereotype \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
