.Dt ACCF_HTTP 9
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm accf_http
|
|
.Nd "buffer incoming connections until a certain complete HTTP requests arrive"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm options INET
|
|
.Nm options ACCEPT_FILTER_HTTP
|
|
.Nm kldload accf_http
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This is a filter to be placed on a socket that will be using
|
|
.Fn accept
|
|
to receive incoming HTTP connections.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It prevents the application from receiving the connected descriptor via
|
|
.Fn accept
|
|
until either a full HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1 HEAD or GET request has
|
|
been buffered by the kernel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If something other than a HTTP/1.0 or
|
|
HTTP/1.1 HEAD or GET request is received the kernel will
|
|
allow the application to receive the connection descriptor
|
|
via
|
|
.Fn accept .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The utility of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is such that a server will not have to context switch several times
|
|
before performing the initial parsing of the request.
|
|
This effectively reduces the amount of required CPU utilization
|
|
to handle incoming requests by keeping active
|
|
processes in preforking servers such as Apache low
|
|
and reducing the size of the file descriptor set that needs
|
|
to be managed by interfaces such as
|
|
.Fn select ,
|
|
.Fn poll
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn kevent
|
|
based servers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
kernel option is also a module that can be enabled at runtime via
|
|
.Xr kldload 8
|
|
if the INET option has been compiled into the kernel.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLE
|
|
Assuming ACCEPT_FILTER_HTTP has been included in the kernel config
|
|
file or the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
module
|
|
has been loaded, this will enable the http accept filter
|
|
on the socket
|
|
.Fa sok .
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset 0i
|
|
struct accept_filter_arg afa;
|
|
|
|
bzero(&afa, sizeof(afa));
|
|
strcpy(afa.af_name, "httpready");
|
|
setsockopt(sok, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ACCEPTFILTER, &afa, sizeof(afa));

|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The accept filter mechanism and the
|
|
accf_http filter were introduced in
|
|
.Fx 4.0 .
