# Known issues:
|
|
|
|
## Graceful shutdown
|
|
|
|
Relay can't shut down gracefully if Firefox is connected to it, e.g. if Firefox
|
|
kept a connection open while watching a video.
|
|
I'm pretty sure this is a bug in Hyper, so for now I've worked around it with a
|
|
forced shutdown timer.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes I get the turtle icon in Firefox's network debugger. But this happens
|
|
even with Caddy running a static file server, so I can't prove that it's on my
|
|
side. The VPS is cheap, and the datacenter is far away.
|
|
|
|
## Embedded asssets
|
|
|
|
The bad_passwords file is huge. Since it's static, it should only be in physical
|
|
RAM when the server first launches, and then the kernel will let it be paged
|
|
out.
|
|
|
|
Rust has some open issues with compiling assets into the exe, so I'm not
|
|
going to push on this for now, for neither bad_passwords nor the HTML assets:
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/65818
|
|
|
|
I also considered compressing the passwords file, but I couldn't even get
|
|
brotli to give it a decent ratio.
|
|
|
|
## RAM use is kinda high
|
|
|
|
I tried to reduce the thread count in Tokio, but it's still around 12 or 13
|
|
MiB even when the server is doing nothing.
|
|
|
|
I'll leave in the minimize_ram setting for now, but it doesn't actually
|
|
reduce RAM use.
|
|
|
|
## Server names can't have spaces
|
|
|
|
I tried to figure out the percent encoding and it didn't work.
|
|
|
|
Maybe Base64 would be better or something? At least it's unambiguous and it
|
|
can go straight from UTF-8 to bytes to ASCII-armored.
|
|
|
|
## Turtle in Firefox's network debugger
|
|
|
|
The turtle shows up if Firefox has to wait more than 500 ms till first byte.
|
|
Curl says we can download a small file (950 bytes) end-to-end in about 250 ms.
|
|
|
|
So I think somewhere between Firefox and Caddy, something is getting confused.
|
|
Firefox, probably the same as Chromium, doesn't try to buffer entire videos
|
|
at once, so I think it purposely hangs the download, and then I'm not sure
|
|
what happens.
|
|
|
|
I might have to build a client that imitates this behavior, since it's hard
|
|
to control.
