Today was spent reworking so much of the webdav special remote that it was
|
|
essentially rewritten from scratch.
|
|
|
|
The main improvement is that it now keeps a http connection open and uses
|
|
it to perform multiple actions. Before, one connection was made per action.
|
|
This is even done for operations on chunks. So, now storing a chunked file
|
|
in webdav makes only 2 http connections total. Before, it would take around
|
|
10 connections *per chunk*. So a big win for performance, although there is
|
|
still room for improvement: It would be possible to reduce that down to
|
|
just 1 connection, and indeed keep a persistent connection reused when
|
|
acting on multiple files.
|
|
|
|
Finished up by making uploading a large (non-chunked) file to webdav not
|
|
buffer the whole file in memory.
|
|
|
|
I still need to make downloading a file from webdav not buffer it, and
|
|
test, and then I'll be done with webdav and can move on to making
|
|
similar changes to S3.
