I have finally met the 1.0 milestone (albeit still beta).
The biggest change are:
- added HTTP 1.1 pipelining (IE7 still doesn't support it, but the browsers that do benefit from much better performance)
- upgraded to the latest sqlite3 (with source), gdlib and mysql includes
- sped up he execution by converting the 3 separate execution queues in 1, which is not as complex as I thought it would be and is way faster (getting single digit millisecond execution times on semi-complex calls on an ancient pre-millenium computer).
- ran lint on the code and cleaned up a bunch of stuff
- added event visitor and improved administration, with this I can track any request through the execution path to determine if there were any problems (I like it a lot, but may add a way to turn it on/off to speed things up more, performance at this point is not an issue, but more is always better)
Things to do:
- finish gzip code (compression only works on mozilla, IE is behaving strangely)
- write more sample applications (need to finish the blog and forum examples)
- externalize DB queries to be database specific in a resource file (it is very easy to switch databases, but the SQL format varies ever so slightly)
- add asymmetric static content cache in case the server is used as HTTP/HTTPS server (which is does very well but caching would make it even faster).
- add ability to view server logs via administration interface (not urgent since you can always just open the file yourself, but a convenient feature)
Overall the server is stable and very fast, which is the goal of this project. Once I have more functionality added I will start thinking about how to release it.
