Sendfile for Tokio
| Status: | alpha |
|---|---|
| Documentation: | http://docs.rs/tk-sendfile |
A thread pool that can process file requests and send data to the socket with zero copy (using sendfile).
Challenges:
- While sendfile is non-blocking when writing to socket, it blocks for disk access for two cases: initial open() and for reading file inside the sendfile() system call itself
- Doing more than single sendfile operation requires some bookkeeping
- It should be possible to implement file cache (both opened files and in-memory file data) transparently for the user
- [TODO] Serving user-specified file paths requires non-trivial code to prevent symlink attacks
