The module formerly known as NGINX HTTP Push Module is now Nchan. Nchan is a light, scalable, and flexible pub/sub server for the modern web. It can be configured as a standalone server, or as a shim between an application and tens, thousands, or millions of live subscribers. It can buffer messages in memory, on-disk, or via Redis. All connections are handled asynchronously and distributed among any number of worker processes. It can also scale to many nginx instances with Redis.
Messages are published to channels with HTTP POST requests or websockets, and subscribed also through websockets, long-polling, EventSource (SSE), old-fashioned interval polling, and more. Any location can be a subscriber endpoint for up to 4 channels. Each subscriber can be optionally authenticated via a custom application url, and an events meta channel is available for debugging. This is a beta release, and I'm looking for feedback on the module code, functionality, as well as the documentation. https://nchan.slact.net _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
