Topic: Node.js reverse proxy => Apache win

[Kanashii]

My first open source project: reverse.proxy-at-node.js

https://github.com/dawjan/reverse.proxy-at-node.js

Now its only possible to use with cygwin but i think next month will be relase native nodejs for windows


Now in beta so try test with: ab.exe and compare results

[James Blond]

Is this to have node js instead of apache as reverse proxy? Please post an example config or setup. I wanna know how to use it.

[Kanashii]

For now i use only that for static content eq cdn.hostename.com

http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.5.1/node.exe

Its relase first relase of nodejs for windows

nodejs.exe scriptname.js


[Rev proxy adres ]
proxy_ip = '127.0.0.1';
proxy_port = 80;

[Apache server] - no proxy etc only simple server
httpd_ip = '127.0.0.1';
httpd_port = 81;

Its still i beta there are no Nodejs native and now run on cygwin every one day 80% usage. Maybe next month will be release native nodejs.exe

For PHP can only handle on cygwin 40 connction per second but when is content cached is blazing speed

in code you had:

if( path.match(/.js|.css|.xml|.ico|.png|.jpeg|.jpg/) ) {
return true;
}

so add index.php or something else ale will be cache in node memory

I use also http://www.iqproxyserver.com/reverseproxy.php

First bench on static images, but its first release of node for windows.
Need time maybe i change cache engine.
When i use old version on cygwin on static page it load all content ~50ms faster.

UPDATE
On node for windows the child_process is not support jet. So need time: https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/TODO.win32

Can somebody benchmark on Linux


[Node.js with cache]

[James Blond]

Did you ever thought of using apache as reverse proxy? Tried?

Offtopic: Are you a japan fan? Kanashii seems to me a japanese name. And I think Porando is japanese for Poland?

[Kanashii]

That whose long time ego now i think more about Asja
Correct Kanashii - sorrow, and Porando like Engrish
But lot of people when i say im from Poland think Holand

About performance:
Apache windows ab.exe big test static content CPU usage 80%
No caching "jet" for headers
drop support for memcaching

nginx had some big issue and cant use in production
Windows server are faster but not like g-wan
G-wan - nice webserver but drop support for windows when apache Cpu usage 80% G-wan 2%
I looking for something fast and now node is pretend to act like fast webserver.
Compare Apache win to Linux is weary poor performance but working

Now i looking for something to run faster PHP

or PHP appserver [ Linux only ]
