Hi all, as promised uWSGI 2.1 will not be limited anymore to 16bit request size.
All of the protocols (except uwsgi/suwsgi/uwsgip obviously) can now manage 64bit request size. By default the buffer size is limited to 4k as always (yeah, i know this is annoying for someone, but unfortunately moving to 8k would result in an automatic double in memory usage for users of async modes, so we need to think about it a little bit more). This means that users of mercurial (that makes an heavy use of http headers to carry blobs) can now use it with uWSGI simply setting http/fastcgi/scgi/... protocols. >From the plugin developers point of view there are two major changes: uwsgi.buffer_size is 64bit, and the old pointer has been mapped to uwsgi.__buffer_size (to retain ABI compatibility). wsgi_req->uh->pktsize has been renamed to wsgi_req->uh->_pktsize to avoid errors, as the new way for checking the request size is wsgi_req->len wsgi_req->uh->_pktsize is meaningful only for plugins directly dealing with uwsgi protocol. Take in account that even if uwsgi requests are limited to 16bit (by protocol specs), internally you are free to extend it to 64bit, so you are able to add request-vars via internal routing framework. So having a buffer-size > 64k could be useful even for plain uwsgi mode. To be more clear: - you set buffer size to 100k - you receive a 8000 bytes requests from nginx. - via internal routing you add a variable FOO=x * 80000 - your internal request buffer is now 88000 bytes, and it is still valid as it is lower than 100k but: - nginx sending a huge 80k request (that will overflow) - albeit the buffer is 100k the uwsgi protocol can carry only 64k, so the request will be detected as broken and the connection closed. This commit is very invasive, thanks to Adriano Di Luzio (a new member of the uWSGI team) we are improving our test suite, but i expect corner bugs ;) .
