Forum OpenACS Development: AOLserver 4.0 status

Collapse
Posted by C. R. Oldham on

Greetings,

I thought I'd share with you some things I've learned over the past few days regarding the AOLserver releases.

I posted to the AOLserver list asking about the current status of 4.0 GM--as many of you know it had a bug that prevented it from responding to SIGTERM and gracefully shutting down.

Elizabeth Thomas from AOL responded to my post and said they had created another release (4.0.1) but no tarball had ever been made to go with it. She said AOL was using it internally with good success. That release has CVS tag aolserver_v40_r1.

Some judicious browsing of the CVS repository on SourceForge revealed that there is also a third release, presumably to be 4.0.2, with tag aolserver_v40_r2.

Below is the ChangeLog with entries from beta20 on.

2003-11-23  mpagenva <mpagenva@aol.com>
        * nsd/tclhttp.c: remove validity check on method param to ns_http 
          queue, since methods in addition to put and post can be valid.
        * tcl/fastpath.tcl: make configuable: a) logging to serverlog
          fastpath update requests (some configs may be fine with the
          logging to the access log which can be easily obtained).
          b) automatic backfill of implied directory tree on put.

        * maxinput to throttle the # of bytes
        * on request.  
        * Removed ThreadJoin of driver thread.

This change limits upload size to 1 MB (default). To allow larger uploads, set 'maxinput' to your desired upload size in 'ns/server/${servername}/module/nssock'.
