Limits per vhost

[anewday]

It would be great if the settings for limting number of concurrent connections per vhost rather than a global setting. Having this option would allow for more flexibility. Also would be a big plus to be able to apply it to certain folders, based on filetype with proxy detection like the mod_limitipconn mod for Apache. Very useful for fileservers and the like.

Some complex logic can be done with external processor like PHP, RoR or other web programming language, like proxy detection etc. after authenticated, issue a internal redirect to let lshttpd serve the file directly.

We will update our wanted feature list as well.

Can you clarify your statement? You mean it can't be an internal feature of the webserver itself?

 

[mistwang]

Feature like proxy detection probably will not make into the lshttpd core, we'd like to keep it light and make API available for third party external processors.

Ok, proxy detection isn't a big deal but limit concurrent connections per IP and total connections on a vhost level would be quite useful.
