The goal is to deliver files with a nodejs http server.
The *problem* is the *transmission* from the server response to the *browser*. I deliver a string as content as shown in program code. VPS: debian 7 / SSD / 2 core / ~30ms ping Some string size benchmarking (**content-download time**) - 1 kb: 0,18 ms - 10 kb: 7,00 ms - 20 kb: 47,50 ms - 30 kb: 55,00 ms - 40 kb: 58,10 ms - 50 kb: 86,20 ms - 60 kb: 93,10 ms - 80 kb: 107,10 ms - 100 kb: 120,00 ms (nginx needs 0.31ms) >From start to finish the response in the server. it takes ~1ms no matter what file size, so the problem is between nodejs sending the files and the browser receiving the files. *Program code:* // var request => the http incoming request request.socket.setNoDelay(); request.connection.setNoDelay(); // var response => the response from the http incoming request response.on('close', function () { console.log("[ABORTED][%s] %s", request.connection.remoteAddress, request.url);}); response.on('finish', function () { console.log("[SUCCESS][%s] %s", request.connection.remoteAddress, request.url);}); // get the content of the file (takes ~0ms)var fileContent = fileSystem.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf8'); // Configure response header response.writeHead(200, { 'content-length': ''+fileContent.length, 'content-type': 'text/plain',}); // Send content response.end(fileContent, 'utf8', function(){ console.log("Ending response took %sms", Date.now()-timeB2);}); -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
