The ``proxy-buffer-size`` option to ``WSGIDaemonProcess`` directive +was renamed to ``response-buffer-size`` to avoid confusion with options +related to normal HTTP proxying. The ``--proxy-buffer-size`` option of +``mod_wsgi-express`` was similarly renamed to ``--response-buffer-size``. + +New Features +------------ + +1. Added ``--service-script`` option to ``mod_wsgi-express`` to allow a +Python script to be loaded and executed in the context of a distinct +daemon process. This can be used for executing a service to be managed by +Apache, even though it is a distinct application. The options take two +arguments, a short name for the service and the path to the Python script +for starting the service. + +If ``mod_wsgi-express`` is being run as root, then a user and group can be +specified for the service using the ``--service-user`` and +``--service-group`` options. The options take two arguments, a short name +for the service and the user or group name respectively. + +2. Added ``--proxy-url-alias`` option to ``mod_wsgi-express`` for setting +up proxying of a sub URL of the site to a remote URL. + +3. Added ``--proxy-virtual-host`` option to ``mod_wsgi-express`` for setting +up proxying of a whole virtual host to a remote URL. Only supports proxying +of HTTP requests and not HTTPS requests. + +4. Added ``eviction-timeout`` option to ``WSGIDaemonProcess`` directive. +For the case where the graceful restart signal, usually ``SIGUSR1``, is +sent to a daemon process to evict the WSGI application and restart the +process, this controls how many seconds the process will wait, while still +accepting new requests, before it reaches an idle state with no active +requests and shuts down. + +The ``graceful-timeout`` option previously performed this exact role in +this case previously, but a separate option is being added to allow a +different timeout period to be specified for the case for forced eviction. +The existing ``graceful-timeout`` option is still used when a maximum +requests option or CPU usage limit is set. For backwards compatibility, +if ``eviction-timeout`` isn't set, it will fall back to using any value +specified using the ``graceful-timeout`` option. + +The ``--eviction-timeout`` option has also been added to +``mod_wsgi-express`` and behaves in a similar fashion. + +5. Added support for new ``mod_wsgi-httpd`` package. The ``mod_wsgi-httpd`` +package is a pip installable package which will build the Apache httpd +server and install it into the Python installation. If the +``mod_wsgi-httpd`` package is installed before installing this package, +then the Apache httpd server installation installed by ``mod_wsgi-httpd`` +will be used instead of any system installed version of the Apache httpd +server when running ``mod_wsgi-express``. This allows you to workaround +any inability to upgrade the main Apache installation, or install its 'dev' +package if missing, or install it outright if not present. |
