Re: asy_jpcache 0.9.8 - Fast Full Page Caching

I am on a shared short atm… so I can’t pull those values. I do know it appears quicker, and when I run it through some benchmark tests (like sitereportcard.com) it loads faster than it did.

Many Kudo’s. Now I just need to upgrade the other installs to RC3, and start making use of this (and other) plugins and features. :P

You are right, I overlooked your comment or I would have answered earlier. I have now repackaged 0.7 as 0.7.1. The admin-side plugin should now be installable. I must have made an error while copying and packaging the files.

Wow. OK. Well. Geez. I … ah … think I’m installing this everywhere I have my hands on a textpattern install …

And the site was completely “clickable” the entire time while the server did a load < 1. That’s a pretty good output, considering that would be about 40 million hits a day sustained.

Re: asy_jpcache 0.9.8 - Fast Full Page Caching

Sencer: Thanx for the update. And for the plugin.

Jason: Thanx for the stats. I think I will be putting this on other sites as well. Oh yeah…

Re: asy_jpcache 0.9.8 - Fast Full Page Caching

Updated to version 0.8

  • - don’t clean cache when merely viewing or previewing articles in article-event
  • - add statistic in admin-side plugin over number and total size of the cache-files
  • - sniff content and guess Content-Type on PHP4 (see Known Issues in first post)
  • - finally, completely fix garbled feeds. (strncmp returns 0 for a match, go figure…)

The last should be the most important reason to update, because from time to time you might get a broken feed with the last version.

Re: asy_jpcache 0.9.8 - Fast Full Page Caching

Thanks for tweaking this, Sencer. For some reason I can’t tell if this is working on one of my textdrive accounts, any hints on testing to make sure it is active?

Soulship: You can examine your response headers to see if X-Cache: asy_jpcache v2 – file is returned. You may use an online tool such as this one.

Re: asy_jpcache 0.9.8 - Fast Full Page Caching

From the bottom of the help file

//Content-Sniffing to set correct Content-Type, because headers were not available

With version 0.8, I have a small problem with those headers.

I’m serving application/xhtml+xml for modern browsers via my plugin. This sets the headers (and gzip compressing) correctly.
Once asy_jpcache is activated, it overrides any header that the plugin sends, and serves everything as text/html (I haven’t checked the feeds yet).

  • I’ve disabled gzip in jpcache-config.php, no problems with that.
  • The mime type header proves harder to deal with. commenting out all those lines after the comment quoted above doesn’t help.

What actually happens is this: when the page is first requested, I get an error (and a blank page) – xml error in Firefox 1.0+, Safari returns this: ‘The error was: “bad server response

Re: asy_jpcache 0.9.8 - Fast Full Page Caching

Hi phiw13,

I think I understand why the things are happening that are happening. I am just not sure wether there is a best way to handle them.
My proposal may seem a bit “intrusive”, but maybe someone else can come up with a better idea:

1) IMHO you should deactivate your plugin, and let jpcache handle the compression. Reason: For ob_gzhandler (or any gzip compression) to work, you have to send the correct header. If you turn off gzip in jpcache those headers are not being sent. And there is actually a “hack” in jpcache to uncompress compressed content before dealing with it, because the default textpattern gzips feeds, but not regular pages. Turning off gzip in asy_jpcache makes (IMHO) only sense, when you use mod_gzip/mod_deflate in Apache, or zlib.output_compression in php.ini.

2) Change the saved default header in file.php on line 104 (after the //Content-Sniffing…)
Find:
<notextile><pre> else $cachedata[“jpcachedata_type”] = ‘text/html; charset=utf-8’;
</pre></notextile>
change into:
<notextile><pre> else $cachedata[“jpcachedata_type”] = ‘application/xhtml+xml;charset=utf-8’;
</pre></notextile>

I think that should work. Reason: The first two “ifs” before that check for feeds, if they are not then this content-header gets saved and will later be served. If you comment those lines out, PHP will just send whatever default Content-Type is set in php.ini.

- The other solution would be to switch to a host that has PHP5, which I know is probably not an option in most cases. (If it is, Textdrive has PHP5;) )

Possible Problem: The header is saved in the cached file. If you only want to serve the xml-mimetype to those browsers that understand it, and text/html otherwise, you will also have to change the method “jpcache_restore” (in the same file.php) to not just read the type, but to check it against the Accept-Headers of the Browser.

If that all would solve the problem, I would adjust the code for the next release.

Questions: If an HTML Document starts with:
<notextile><pre>
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8” ?>
<!DOCTYPE
</pre></notextile>
will it always be sent as “application/xhtml+xml;charset=utf-8” (if we assume the browser understands it)? If a document should be served with that mimetype, does it always begin with that snippet?

edit: Nevermind my questions, I am looking at the code of your plugin right now. Thinking how best to take care of that…
