[hunchentoot-devel] Hunchentoot Errors (e.g. Couldn't write to #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "socket ..." ...>)
by Cyrus Harmon 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

Hello tbnl-folk, So, I've been seeing transient problems with hunchentoot for as long as I can remember, and I haven't had the chance to try to track down the problems until now. It seems there are a couple of classes of problems. In order of severity, the are: 1. things that crash hunchentoot/SBCL (or, in some cases, the host OS) 2. things that throw "unexpected" errors 3. things that throw "expected" errors (e.g. 404) As for class 1, these are tough to track down as the server is usually crashed by the time I get to it, but some causes I consider plausible are: * running out of some limited resource such as RAM, threads, or network sockets * possible SBCL bug in, say, signal handling or dealing with lots of threads I don't have any data to present on this class, at the moment, so let's move on to the next class. I often see errors such as this in the log: [2011-04-05 00:04:52 [ERROR]] Couldn't write to #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "socket 74.115.254.12:80, peer: 217.72.218.248:2741" {B6FB859}>: Broken pipe 0: (SB-DEBUG::MAP-BACKTRACE #<CLOSURE (LAMBDA #) {B71EC4D}> :START 0 :COUNT 536870911) 1: (BACKTRACE 536870911 #<SB-IMPL::STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM {B71EBE9}>) 2: (TRIVIAL-BACKTRACE:PRINT-BACKTRACE-TO-STREAM #<SB-IMPL::STRING-OUTPUT-STREAM {B71EBE9}>) 3: (HUNCHENTOOT::GET-BACKTRACE) 4: ((FLET #:LAMBDA271) #<SB-INT:SIMPLE-STREAM-ERROR "~@<~?: ~2I~_~A~:>" {B71EA51}>) 5: (SIGNAL #<SB-INT:SIMPLE-STREAM-ERROR "~@<~?: ~2I~_~A~:>" {B71EA51}>) 6: (ERROR SB-INT:SIMPLE-STREAM-ERROR :STREAM #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "socket 74.115.254.12:80, peer: 217.72.218.248:2741" {B6FB859}> :FORMAT-CONTROL "~@<~?: ~2I~_~A~:>" :FORMAT-ARGUMENTS ("Couldn't write to ~S" (#<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "socket 74.115.254.12:80, peer: 217.72.218.248:2741" {B6FB859}>) "Broken pipe")) 7: (SB-IMPL::SIMPLE-STREAM-PERROR "Couldn't write to ~S" #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "socket 74.115.254.12:80, peer: 217.72.218.248:2741" {B6FB859}> 32) 8: (SB-IMPL::WRITE-OUTPUT-FROM-QUEUE #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "socket 74.115.254.12:80, peer: 217.72.218.248:2741" {B6FB859}>) 9: (SB-IMPL::SUB-SUB-SERVE-EVENT NIL NIL) 10: (SB-IMPL::SUB-SERVE-EVENT NIL NIL NIL) 11: (SB-SYS:SERVE-ALL-EVENTS NIL) 12: (SB-IMPL::FINISH-FD-STREAM-OUTPUT #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "socket 74.115.254.12:80, peer: 217.72.218.248:2741" {B6FB859}>) 13: (FINISH-OUTPUT #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "socket 74.115.254.12:80, peer: 217.72.218.248:2741" {B6FB859}>) 14: (HUNCHENTOOT:HANDLE-STATIC-FILE #P"/home/sly/projects/www-cyrusharmon-org/static/images/fish-clusters.png" NIL) 15: ((SB-PCL::FAST-METHOD HUNCHENTOOT:HANDLE-REQUEST (HUNCHENTOOT:ACCEPTOR HUNCHENTOOT:REQUEST)) #<unavailable argument> #<unavailable argument> #<HUNCHENTOOT:ACCEPTOR (host *, port 80)> #<HUNCHENTOOT:REQUEST {B701D09}>) 16: ((SB-PCL::FAST-METHOD HUNCHENTOOT:PROCESS-REQUEST (T)) #<unavailable argument> #<unavailable argument> #<HUNCHENTOOT:REQUEST {B701D09}>) 17: ((SB-PCL::FAST-METHOD HUNCHENTOOT:PROCESS-CONNECTION (HUNCHENTOOT:ACCEPTOR T)) #<unavailable argument> #<unavailable argument> #<HUNCHENTOOT:ACCEPTOR (host *, port 80)> #<USOCKET:STREAM-USOCKET {B6FB8F1}>) 18: ((SB-PCL::FAST-METHOD HUNCHENTOOT:PROCESS-CONNECTION :AROUND (HUNCHENTOOT:ACCEPTOR T)) #<unavailable argument> #S(SB-PCL::FAST-METHOD-CALL :FUNCTION #<FUNCTION #> :PV NIL :NEXT-METHOD-CALL NIL :ARG-INFO (2)) #<HUNCHENTOOT:ACCEPTOR (host *, port 80)> #<USOCKET:STREAM-USOCKET {B6FB8F1}>) 19: ((LAMBDA ())) 20: ((FLET #:WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS-BODY-[BLOCK353]358)) 21: ((FLET SB-THREAD::WITH-MUTEX-THUNK)) 22: ((FLET #:WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS-BODY-[CALL-WITH-MUTEX]300)) 23: (SB-THREAD::CALL-WITH-MUTEX #<CLOSURE (FLET SB-THREAD::WITH-MUTEX-THUNK) {B0E14235}> #S(SB-THREAD:MUTEX :NAME "thread result lock" :%OWNER #<SB-THREAD:THREAD "Hunchentoot worker (client: 217.72.218.248:2741)" RUNNING {B6FCE39}> :STATE 1) #<SB-THREAD:THREAD "Hunchentoot worker (client: 217.72.218.248:2741)" RUNNING {B6FCE39}> T) 24: (SB-THREAD::INITIAL-THREAD-FUNCTION) 25: ("foreign function: call_into_lisp") 26: ("foreign function: funcall0") 27: ("foreign function: new_thread_trampoline") 28: ("foreign function: #xB7FC5506") What does this whole "broken pipe" mean? Is this more of an "expected error" or is something going wrong here? On a slightly different note, I'd like to be able to run a relatively reliable hunchentoot server that can serve a modest traffic load without having to resort to caching proxy servers and the like. I recall some discussion of thread pools, epoll, etc... Has the state of the art for high-reliability hunchentoot instances changed in the last couple years? Any suggestions on improving it? thanks!

[hunchentoot-devel] Garbage in REPL
by Andrey Moskvitin 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

Hi, For ACCESS-LOG-DESIGNATION default value is *ERROR-OUTPUT*. It is the cause of littering REPL for SLIME users. Maybe better use NIL as default and for suppress logging use a keyword :suppress? (defmethod acceptor-access-log-destination ((acceptor acceptor)) (let ((destination (slot-value acceptor 'access-log-destination))) (case destination ((nil) *error-output*) (:suppress nil) (otherwise destination)))) In this case, the logging will be sent to *inferior-lisp* and will not interfere with.

[hunchentoot-devel] Can hunchentoot host CGH application ?
by z_axis 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

We have a CGI application developed using python, which can be hosted in erlang YAWS easily: > cat ~/yaws.conf ... <server 192.168.1.2> port = 8000 listen = 0.0.0.0 docroot = /media/G/www/qachina/ access_log = false appmods = <cgi-bin, yaws_appmod_cgi> </server> ... Now we want to host the application in a lisp web server. Maybe hunchentoot can do it ? Sincerely!

[hunchentoot-devel] socket-connector and ssl-socket-connector?
by Cyrus Harmon 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

I've been playing around with some changes to ACCEPTOR and friends that introduce the new classes SOCKET-CONNECTOR and SSL-SOCKET-CONNECTOR. The purpose of these changes are to take the specialized socket handling behavior out of the acceptor and into another class, such that subclassing acceptor isn't required to, say, use SSL streams. As a motivating example, consider the following: (hunchentoot:start (make-instance 'hunchentoot:easy-acceptor :port 4243 :socket-connector (make-instance 'hunchentoot::ssl-socket-connector :ssl-certificate-file (asdf:system-relative-pathname :hunchentoot "ssl/certificate.pem") :ssl-privatekey-file (asdf:system-relative-pathname :hunchentoot "ssl/key.pem")))) (hunchentoot:define-easy-handler (say-yo :uri "/yo") (name) (setf (hunchentoot:content-type*) "text/plain") (format nil "Hey~@[ ~A~]!" name)) Without these changes, one would have to subclass both easy-acceptor and ssl-acceptor in order to have an SSL-using easy acceptor. Comments/suggestions greatly appreciated. The changes can be found in the git repo at: https://github.com/slyrus/hunchentoot/tree/socket-connector and in the attached patch. Cyrus

[hunchentoot-devel] edicl & Quicklisp - formal release tarballs or production-ready master branches?
by Sebastian Tennant 09 Sep '11

09 Sep '11

Hi Hans, I recently wrote the following post on the Quicklisp mailing list: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.quicklisp/69 and you can read Zach's reply here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.quicklisp/70 Here's the final paragraph of Zach's reply, for the sake of convenience: "If the updated Ediware projects have important improvements, I would love to see new versioned releases published in some formal way. If that's not going to happen, I can look into pulling the projects from git [...]" I suspect formal release tarballs for each and every project in edicl would be quite a lot of work for you (as it probably was for Edi) so how about maintaining production-ready master branches (as in git-flow[1]) to make things as easy as possible for Zach?

[hunchentoot-devel] Hunchentoot development is moving to github
by Hans Hübner 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

Hi, effective immediately, Hunchentoot development is going on in github: https://github.com/edicl/hunchentoot - The BKNR subversion repository will be closed in a while, and github will be the authoritative source for development versions. Feel free to fork, send pull requests, open issues and discuss commits. The "edicl" organization on github also has repository for several other libraries that Edi has written. No current development plans exist, but if you have enhancements to any of these libraries, pull requests are welcome. -Hans
