Description

Hi,

I am using X-Accel-Redirect with Trac in FastCGI mode by changing header name in the api.py. I am recommending to make this header name configurable or to add use_x_accel_redirect variable in the config. I can provide patch for this change. On the nginx side appropriate location looks like that:

    # serve attachments  by nginx directly
    location /data/trac/files/attachments/ {
        internal;
        alias /data/trac/files/attachments/;
    }

I added patch to support X-Accel-Redirect on trunk. Please let me know if you need anything else, thank you.

comment:3 by anonymous, 9 years ago

Patch tested with Trac 1.0.4 with nginx/1.6.2 and seems to work correctly. It would be great to see it in the 1.0.5 to avoid local patches on upgrade :)

Thanks for the patch. However, it doesn't seem that works well, e.g. missing to add use_xaccelredirect to Request.callbacks like tags/trac-1.0.5/trac/web/main.py#L169. I'll post revised patch.

Replying to jomae:

X-Sendfile header via apache with mod_xsendfile has been implemented in #7894.

Also, previous discussion about X-Accel-Redirect in comment:10:ticket:7894.

comment:7 by Ryan J Ollos, 9 years ago

Seems like the getattr in [11071#file0] shouldn't really be needed since the attribute is set in the callbacks.

comment:8 by Jun Omae, 9 years ago

Proposed changes in jomae.git@t11981, adding [trac] xsendfile_header option which specifies the header to use if X-Sendfile feature is enabled. If Nginx is used, set X-Accel-Redirect to the option.

comment:9 by Ryan J Ollos, 9 years ago

The changes look good to me. It might be a good idea to mention the value to use with Nginx in the option comment.

comment:10 by Jun Omae, 9 years ago

Thanks for the reviewing. Added mention to the option's document in [69f003e3c/jomae.git].

I'll push it later.

comment:11 by samm@…, 9 years ago

Thanks! I will test proposed patch today and will tell if it works correctly.

comment:12 by samm@…, 9 years ago

I am getting 500 error with text

Trac detected an internal error:
AssertionError: Header names must be strings

I used

use_xsendfile = true
xsendfile_header = X-Accel-Redirect

This is traceback:

comment:15 by anonymous, 9 years ago

I been able to fix this by replacing line

xsendfile_header = getattr(self, 'xsendfile_header', None)

with

xsendfile_header = getattr(self, 'xsendfile_header', None).encode("ascii")

comment:16 by Ryan J Ollos, 9 years ago

The following patch may be a simple fix, though I'm not surprised comment:15 would also work:

  • trac/web/main.py

    diff --git a/trac/web/main.py b/trac/web/main.py
    index 7fe256b..8fc131a 100644
    a b class RequestDispatcher(Component):  
    335335        return self.use_xsendfile
    336336
    337337    def _get_xsendfile_header(self, req):
    338         return self.xsendfile_header
     338        return str(self.xsendfile_header)
    339339
    340340    def _pre_process_request(self, req, chosen_handler):
    341341        for filter_ in self.filters:

comment:17 by samm@…, 9 years ago

Just tested - patch from comment:16 also works fine, thanks.

comment:18 by Jun Omae, 9 years ago

Sorry, I've tested with only tracd. Updated jomae.git@t11981. In [a2bd1cb9/jomae.git], converts to str using to_utf8() and validates to use only valid characters in the option.
