web2py with rocket server + nginx ?

[Christian Varas]

Hello!

I'm wondering if it is a good idea to use web2py with rocket server in combination with nginx as a reverse proxy like in py4web. 

I need to run py4web and web2py on the same server and using nginx without uwsgi for web2py would be easier for me.

Cheers.

Chris.

Well, subject to the fine print, that should be okay, as I'm doing the similar thing with caddy (but not as a production server, so I haven't done any load testing).  In your testing,  I recommend trying large transfers (if your application ever would do that), and memory loads.

I do have a situation where I try to send (server to client) too large a file using chunks, and at some point the client sends a close before rocket expects it (still chunks to go).  I'm running this on windows, and Rocket pops up a window complaining that it tried to send a 500 response but the connection is invalid ... and after a few of these, Rocket runs out of handles and things go on hold until I dismiss the popups.
