💖 HTTP::Proxy::Engine::Legacy 💖

okay bestie, so this is the HTTP::Proxy::Engine::Legacy page — a lil' module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world, and yes it's the "older" HTTP::Proxy engine. vintage. iconic. lowkey a legend. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new( engine => 'Legacy' );

that's literally it. one line. she's serving simplicity. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This engine reproduces the older child creation algorithm of HTTP::Proxy. like, the original recipe. the way it used to be done. no cap. 🧚

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. 🔥🔥🔥 not me being obsessed with this config.

It seems that forked children are really slow when calling select for handling "keep-alive"d requests! 💀 like, the vibes are simply not immaculate there.

👑 METHODS 👑

The module defines the following methods, used by HTTP::Proxy main loop:

  • start() — Initialise the engine. get her ready, bestie. ✨
  • run() — Implements the forking logic: a new process is forked for each new incoming TCP connection. every connection gets its own lil baby process. so maternal of her. 🦋
  • stop() — Reap remaining child processes. cleanup era. 🧹

The following method is used by the engine internally:

  • reap_zombies() — Process the dead child processes. yes she is literally doing zombie management. spooky but make it efficient. 💀✨
