NAME

6       Starlet - a simple, high-performance PSGI/Plack HTTP server
7

SYNOPSIS

9         % start_server --port=80 -- plackup -s Starlet [options] your-app.psgi
10
11         or if you do not need hot deploy,
12
13         % plackup -s Starlet --port=80 [options] your-app.psgi
14

DESCRIPTION

16       Starlet is a standalone HTTP/1.1 web server, formerly known as
17       Plack::Server::Standalone::Prefork and
18       Plack::Server::Standalone::Prefork::Server::Starter.
19
20       The server supports following features, and is suitable for running
21       HTTP application servers behind a reverse proxy.
22
23       - prefork and graceful shutdown using Parallel::Prefork
24
25       - hot deploy using Server::Starter
26
27       - fast HTTP processing using HTTP::Parser::XS (optional)
28

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

30       In addition to the options supported by plackup, Starlet accepts
31       following options(s).
32
33   --max-workers=#
34       number of worker processes (default: 10)
35
36   --timeout=#
37       seconds until timeout (default: 300)
38
39   --keepalive-timeout=#
40       timeout for persistent connections (default: 2)
41
42   --max-keepalive-reqs=#
43       max. number of requests allowed per single persistent connection.  If
44       set to one, persistent connections are disabled (default: 1)
45
46   --max-reqs-per-child=#
47       max. number of requests to be handled before a worker process exits
48       (default: 100)
49
50   --min-reqs-per-child=#
51       if set, randomizes the number of requests handled by a single worker
52       process between the value and that supplied by "--max-reqs-per-chlid"
53       (default: none)
54
55   --spawn-interval=#
56       if set, worker processes will not be spawned more than once than every
57       given seconds.  Also, when SIGHUP is being received, no more than one
58       worker processes will be collected every given seconds.  This feature
59       is useful for doing a "slow-restart".  See
60       http://blog.kazuhooku.com/2011/04/web-serverstarter-parallelprefork.html
61       for more information. (default: none)
62
63   --child-exit=s
64       the subroutine code to be executed right before a child process exits.
65       e.g. "--child-exit='sub { POSIX::_exit(0) }'". (default: none)
66

Extensions to PSGI

68   psgix.informational
69       Starlets exposes a callback named "psgix.informational" that can be
70       used for sending an informational response.  The callback accepts two
71       arguments, the first argument being the status code and the second
72       being an arrayref of the headers to be sent.  Example below sends an
73       103 response before processing the request to build a final response.
74
75         sub {
76             my $env = shift;
77             $env["psgix.informational"}->(103, [
78               'link' => '</style.css>; rel=preload'
79             ]);
80             my $resp = ... application logic ...
81             $resp;
82         }
83

NOTES

85       Starlet is designed and implemented to be simple, secure and fast,
86       especially for running as an HTTP application server running behind a
87       reverse proxy.  It only depends on a minimal number of well-designed
88       (and well-focused) modules.
