Description

Hi,

On Linux, TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT can be enabled to defer accept calls until there is (also) data ready to be read.
On FreeBSD, SO_ACCEPTFILTER can be enabled to defer accept calls until there is a complete HTTP request (or something else) to be read.


#ifdef SO_ACCEPTFILTER
    accept_filter_arg afa;
    bzero(&afa, sizeof(afa));
    strcpy(afa.af_name, "httpready");
    l.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_ACCEPTFILTER, &afa, sizeof(afa));
#elif TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT
    int v = true;
    setsockopt(acceptor_.native(), IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT, &v, sizeof(v));
#endif

TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT:

Allows a listener to be awakened only when data arrives on the socket. Takes an integer value (seconds), this can bound the maximum number of attempts TCP will make to complete the connection.

I don't think "TRUE" is a good value here.

You're right, haven't seen that part before. I'm still not sure what exactly that parameter does though.

linux kernel sources (net/ipv4/tcp.c), search for TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT:

Translate value in seconds to number of retransmits

I have no idea what that means... :)

0 means disable, so i will make the option a "unsigned short" in the config, and it will be only set if it is != 0.

SO_ACCEPTFILTER is already in the source and enabled by default.
