Apache 2.0.52 mod_perl 1.99_16 Perl 5.8.5 OpenSSL 0.9.7d Solaris 8 Greetings!
I am building a load test environment that simulates responses from a large database, with all I/O in an XML payload. Most of the requests and responses are no more than a few hundred bytes, but then there are a couple huge ones. The problem I'm having is that my largest request is 349024 bytes and when I send it (using Perl 5.8.5 w/libwww) I can see the first 11584 bytes come in (using truss), but then nothing further. Watching the server with truss, I can see the calls to read() with buffer sizes of 8000 bytes, each of which typically contain only between 1.4K and 4.3K of data. There are always 4 calls to read() (Normal byte count is 1448, 2896, 2896 and 4344) then we go to sleep in accept(). I tried various ways of reading data from the client and ended up using the Bucket Brigade approach so I can see everything as it comes through the front door, all to no avail. As a sanity check I sent the same request to the real database and everything worked fine, so I know the client script is working. What am I missing? Thanks in advance, Scot P.S. This is the second project I'm working on using MP2. The first was an application server that supports the entire IVR platform for a large bank. These application servers process requests for 1 million customers a day and have been in production since November 2003.
