- Change pools to use mmap() for allocating regions.
- Change kore_malloc() to use pools for commonly sized objects.
(split into multiple of 2 buckets, starting at 8 bytes up to 8192).
- Rename kore_mem_free() to kore_free().
The preallocated pools will hold up to 128K of elements per block size.
In case a larger object is to be allocated kore_malloc() will use
malloc() instead.
This commit is a flag day, your old modules will almost certainly
need to be updated in order to build properly with these changes.
Summary of changes:
- Offload HTTP bodies to disk if they are large (inspired by #100).
(disabled by default)
- The http_argument_get* macros now takes an explicit http_request parameter.
- Kore will now throw 404 errors almost immediately after an HTTP request
has come in instead of waiting until all data has arrived.
API changes:
- http_argument_get* macros now require an explicit http_request parameter.
(no more magic invokations).
- http_generic_404() is gone
- http_populate_arguments() is gone
- http_body_bytes() is gone
- http_body_text() is gone
- http_body_read() has been added
- http_populate_post() has been added
- http_populate_get() has been added
- http_file_read() has been added
- http_file_rewind() has been added
- http_file_lookup() no longer takes name, fname, data and len parameters.
- http_file_lookup() now returns a struct http_file pointer.
- http_populate_multipart_form() no longer takes an secondary parameter.
New configuration options:
- http_body_disk_offload:
Number of bytes after which Kore will offload the HTTP body to
disk instead of retaining it in memory. If 0 this feature is
disabled. (Default: 0)
- http_body_disk_path:
The path where Kore will store temporary HTTP body files.
(this directory does not get created if http_body_disk_offload is 0).
New example:
The upload example has been added, demonstrating how to deal with file
uploads from a multipart form.
