- POSIX regular expressions for Lua
- Improved protocol parsing and encoding
- Additional APIs for ZIP storage retrieval
- Fix st_mode issue on NT for regular files
- Generalized APIs for URL and Host handling
- Worked out the kinks in resource resolution
- Allow for custom error pages like /404.html
The most exciting improvement is dynamic pages will soon be able to use
the executable itself as an object store. it required a heroic technique
for overcoming ETXTBSY restrictions which lets us open the executable in
read/write mode, which means (1) wa can restore the APE header, and (2)
we can potentially containerize redbean extension code so that modules
you download for your redbean online will only impact your redbean.
Here's a list of breaking changes to redbean:
- Remove /tool/net/ prefix from magic ZIP paths
- GetHeader() now returns NIL if header is absent
Here's a list of fixes and enhancements to redbean:
- Support 64-bit ZIP archives
- Record User-Agent header in logs
- Add twelve error handlers to accept()
- Display octal st_mode on listing page
- Show ZIP file comments on listing page
- Restore APE MZ header on redbean startup
- Track request count on redbean index page
- Report server uptime on redbean index page
- Don't bind server socket using SO_REUSEPORT
- Fix#151 where Lua LoadAsset() could free twice
- Report rusage accounting when workers exit w/ -vv
- Use ZIP iattr field as text/plain vs. binary hint
- Add ParseUrl() API for parsing things like a.href
- Add ParseParams() API for parsing HTTP POST bodies
- Add IsAcceptablePath() API for checking dots, etc.
- Add IsValidHttpToken() API for validating sane ASCII
- Add IsAcceptableHostPort() for validating HOST[:PORT]
- Send 400 response to HTTP/1.1 requests without a Host
- Send 403 response if ZIP or file isn't other readable
- Add virtual hosting that tries prepending Host to path
- Route requests based on Host in Request-URI if present
- Host routing will attempt to remove or add the www. prefix
- Sign-extend UNIX timestamps and don't adjust FileTime zone
Here's some of the improvements made to Cosmopolitan Libc:
- Fix ape.S indentation
- Improve consts.sh magnums
- Write pretty good URL parser
- Improve rusage accounting apis
- Bring mremap() closer to working
- Added ZIP APIs which will change
- Check for overflow in reallocarray()
- Remove overly fancy linkage in strerror()
- Fix GDB attach on crash w/ OpenBSD msyscall()
- Make sigqueue() portable to most UNIX distros
- Make integer serialization macros more elegant
- Bring back 34x tprecode8to16() performance boost
- Make malloc() more resilient to absurdly large sizes
This isn't working as intended in the Travis CI build environment.
There's likely some kind of microarchitectural issue. This change
gets us back into the green for the time being.
Cosmopolitan's QuickJS is now equally conformant and performant, with
the exception of Atomics, which have been disabled since Cosmopolitan
currently doesn't support pthreads.

The send{,to,msg} and recv{,from,msg} functions have been updated to
delegate to WriteFile and ReadFile when appropriate, due to the fact
that socketpair(AF_UNIX) is implemented using kFdFile.
Thanks @fabriziobertocci for writing the test that caught this.
See #148 and #122
This change introduces ape-no-modify-self.o to the amalgamated release
binaries, which may be used as an alternative to ape.o to make it easier
to use APE in cases where the self-modifying behavior isn't acceptable.
Please note that this alternative copying behavior isn't necessarily
better. It introduces a whole bunch of questions of its own, which are
documented in the ape.S source comment and should be considered by both
the program author as well as the end-user of programs linked this way.
For example, build environments that use read-only file systems and
would prefer to not have a launcher wrapper (like we use in our build)
can use ape-no-modify-self.o instead of ape.o and then set the $TMPDIR
environment variable to point to a sane read-write-exec location.
Fixes#146
See #82
If an "index.lua" or "index.html" doesn't exist in zip file or the
filesystem, and no redirects have been defined for it either, then
redbean will render a listing of the zip central directory content
only if the request uri points to the root path.
You can now pass `-D directory` to redbean which will serve assets from
the local filesystem. This is useful for development since it allows us
to skip needing to shut down the server and run InfoZIP when testing an
iteration of a lua server page script.
See #97
If we keep making changes like this, redbean might not be a toy anymore.
Additional steps are also being taken now to prevent ANSI control codes
sent by the client from slipping into logs.
Buffering now has optimal performance, bugs have been fixed, and some
missing apis have been introduced. This implementation is also now more
production worthy since it's less brittle now in terms of system errors.
That's going to help redbean since lua i/o is all based on stdio.
See #97
This change only implements enough Lua support to send a Hello World
response. The redbean executable size increases from ~128kb to 260kb
and the requests per second decreases from 1000k to 600k. That's the
fastest it can go and that's extremely impressive compared to Python
See #97
- removed unneeded share parameter from pipe on nt
- socktpair(type | SOCK_CLOEXEC) is now polyfilled
- use textwindows for linker micro-optimization
- apologies for auto clang-format diff noise :(
- improve socketpair docstring
See #122
