This week was spent planning and implementing the features needed in monkey to support multiple protocols. I want these changes to be directly useful for monkey so I'm spending time testing to make sure that they do not break anything,
In addition to planning features, I've also continuously testing and improving upon the next plugin api. Handling events is planned and will be added to the api blog entry when it's implemented. # Connection handlers The first of these changes is the addition of per connection event handlers, allowing very flexible and isolated behavior that depends on how the connection was set up. This is first and foremost a requirement for easy handling of multiple protocols, but also adds additional safety by preventing plugin backend connections from affecting client connections and vice versa. This is implemented and tested. # Location plugin chains This change introduces a way to define which plugins should be tried and in what order for path prefixes. It isn't required for future protocols that this should work, but the new plugin api I'm developing is easier to integrate with the rest of monkey using this feature. This changes is planned and half implemented. # HTTP refactoring In an effort to simplify working with two plugin api's I am spending some time refactoring mk_http.c for easier reuse. This involves changing parameters, merging functions and splitting functions. One nice benefit is that I get an extra 10% performance running keep-alive benchmarks after merging some functionality from mk_http_pending_requests() into the parser. This change will be ongoing work until the new plugin api is working. # Multiple listening sockets I've wanted to add support for multiple listening sockets to for a very long time, and I've now started adding this feature. It will allow different protocols on different ports thanks to the introduction of connection handlers. This change is planned.
