I haven't heard back on results of our nasty/crazy solution, though.

fyi: I've been running that patch for a while in our staging environment. As far as I can tell it works. Though we haven't tested it with older browsers such as IE6 (we do not have that requirement) nor with all of the API clients we see (java, python, etc., we do have that requirement).

Hopefully we're bringing that patch into our production environment within the next couple of weeks, and then we should see results later that week.

Awesome!

The only thing that worries me is that Eric calls this a "nasty/crazy solution". :p Not sure why. Seems to me it's a rather smart solution that perhaps in the future would deserve to be the default.

A related question: is it possible to get insight in what's in the unicorn queue and for how long requests have been queued there?


Cheers,
Lawrence
