Nginx FastCGI response buffer sizes

By default when Nginx starts receiving a response from a FastCGI backend (such as PHP-FPM) it will buffer the response in memory before delivering it to the client. Any response larger than the set buffer size is saved to a temporary file on disk.

This process is outlined at the Nginx ngx_http_fastcgi_module page manual page.

• Introduction
• Determine actual FastCGI response sizes
• Setting the buffer size
• Verifying results

// loc_parser: functions to parse the textual part of a LOC record
// stored in our DNS. The key function here is parseLOCString which
// should be passed a dns.LOC and a string containing the latitude,
// longitude etc.
//
// This is an implementation of RFC 1876. Read it for background as
// the format in a dns.LOC is slightly unusual.

PHP Decorators (alternative proposal to Annotations)

Inspiration: Python Decorators

• Further refine how class decorators should work. Should they work on the instance level? Or should they just receive the class name, and can only be used for providing metadata? Instance level is probably the only one that makes sense in PHP. Problem is though, that then the decorator is not called when used in the declaration.

In August 2007 a hacker found a way to expose the PHP source code on facebook.com. He retrieved two files and then emailed them to me, and I wrote about the issue:

It became a big deal:

The two files are index.php (the homepage) and search.php (the search page)

Overview

7-zip doesn't preserve the Linux/Unix owner/group of files and possibly other details. Use tar instead because it's designed to preserve these things, then just 7zip the tar archive.

Create the archive

tar cf - --exclude=\*.o -v directory | 7z a -si -t7z -m0=lzma -mx=9 -mfb=64 -md=32m -ms=on directory.tar.7z
