HTTP pipelining

Recommended Posts

Hi !

as explained here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining , HTTP pipelining may make faster http requests, specially when server updates data in real time ( let say every 10 milliseconds) .

also, this may be an alternative for multi-threading way of making a httpget (or _InetGetSource...).

my question is:

how to make HTTP pipelining with autoit ? ( i mean, is it just to add a "keep-alive" in header parameter of _InetGetSource or something elese ?)

thinks for any help

Have you tried using the MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP ojbect its faster than any others I have tried

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...c=42520&hl=

I don't think so, here some tests (for speed, i'd just do a 100 loop and calculate the average of time consuming )

MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP ===> 203 ms

Winhttp ===> 195 ms

_InetGetSource ===> 182 ms

all works synchronymly ( no way to do asynchronym call with autoit)

I don't think your article on Wikipedia is acurate. Create the following .reg file and Merge it.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:A
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:2
;

Note that the values following "dword:" are in hexadecimal, therefore use these letters for settings greater than 9 - 10=A, 11=B, 12=C, 13=D, 14=E, 15=F.

This will definitly work with IE7 and I think as far back as IE4 (hence the use of the REGEDIT4 line.)

EDIT: I forgot the semicolon on the last line. It MUST be there

sorry, but you misntrestood HTTP pipelining....(if you what to understand it , sniff some http paquets and you will see the difference)

: exemple:

Without pipelining: 2 successive calls to an HTTP_get( site) ===> 8 transactions before getting data (client ----> server)

With pipelining: 2 successive calls to an HTTP_get( site) ===> 5 transactions before getting data (client ----> server)

anyway, thinks for your participation

hmm...

thats how i understand it:

http 1.0 or 1.1 'Connection: Close' for 2 Transactions

Connect
 Request 
 Reply
Disconnect

Connect
 Request 
 Reply
Disconnect
http 1.1 'Connection: persistent' for 2 Transactions
Connect
 Request
 Reply
 Request
 Reply
Disconnect
http 1.1 pipelining for 2 Transactions

Connect
 Request
 Request
 Reply

Disconnect

All of this can be done with Autoit's Tcp functions

here is a minimal example:

TCPStartup()

$sReply1  = "GET /autoit3/ HTTP/1.1" & @CRLF
$sReply1 &= "Host: www.autoitscript.com" & @CRLF & @CRLF

$sReply2  = "GET /autoit3/docs/ HTTP/1.1" & @CRLF
$sReply2 &= "Host: www.autoitscript.com" & @CRLF & @CRLF


$hSock = TCPConnect(TCPNameToIP("www.autoitscript.com"),80)
TCPSend($hSock,$sReply1 & $sReply2)

; I dont want to write a header parser
; so a simple timeout has to do it for now
$iTimer = TimerInit()
While TimerDiff($iTimer) < 500
    $sTmp = TCPRecv($hSock,1024)
    If StringLen($sTmp) > 0 Then
        ConsoleWrite($sTmp)
        $iTimer = TimerInit()
    EndIf
WEnd

TCPCloseSocket($hSock)
TCPShutdown()

but what exactly are you trying to do?

Thinks for replay !

persistent connection= HTTP pipelining

HTTP pipelining means that you use one connexion session for many HTTP requests ( depends on "keep-alive" header).

Ethereal shows that well (it is faster than opening many session)

anyway, my goal is to detect the startup of an event in a siteweb as soon as possible ( the server is updating in realtime)

i'd rather say HTTP pipelining = abusing a persistent connection :whistle:

at least the example i did was far from spec.

and you realy care about a tenth of a second?

well if yes then post your test script and i'll ad a TCP* function based method...

and btw:

if there is no 'Connection: Close' in the header 'Connection: Keep-Alive' is assumed in http 1.1 (at least on Apache)

another 24 byte traffic saved :P

thinks piccaso !

Yes tenth of a second is very important for my project :

While 1

$htm=_InetGetSource("www.theserver.com/cgi?course=14")

If StringInStr($htm, "Ok, Start now !") then
  Action() ; Action is a function to submit a form (no problem here)
  Exitloop
EndIf

Wend

with 4 instances of my script, i can do 8 call _InetGetSource per second but maybe there is an other faster solution

but i need to know which server the host is running, which http version the cgi script uses, see the reply headers, and so on...

to make it accurate

ok, here is the server reponse header

HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Connection: Keep-Alive
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 23:22:10 GMT

(i found a good library supporting http pipelining: Libcurl http://curl.haxx.se/ but it is hard to convert in autoit script, and autoit dont support callback futures :whistle:

i dont want to do something i cant test local.

i dont want to spend much time on writing something general-purpose that may work and post it.

... wait for your reply ... change something and post it... ad so on

if you dont want to post it in an open forum you can pm it to me too

but you probably knew that bevore...

Hey, I just have a quick question: say I wanted to grab the source of a website every minute or so, would you use this technique? or _InetGetSource()? And also, which way is faster?

Thanks,

while 1

$htm=_InetGetSource()?

Libcurl is the faster library i know (but no idea how convert it in autoit UDF)
