#3481 closed defect (fixed)

Tracd HTTP response is very slow in windows between PCs.

Description

When I installed the trac in standalone way, I found it is very slow to response to browser. But this case only appear in connection from another PC. It means if I access the trac in the local machine, the speed is normal (about 0.0x seconds). I have traced the Trac code and found that: it is fine with good speed in handling the request but stuck in "send_response" step. This situation will add extra 12 seconds cost to response to the browser. Maybe is the IO/Network issue?

e.g. from my trac log— "19:45:49 Trac[standalone] DEBUG: Total request time: 12.032000 s"

The standard python HTTPServer used by TracStandalone will log each client request. While doing this, it tries to resolve the client's numerical IP address to a fully qualified name. You probably don't have a DNS server correctly setup in your environment, hence the slow down.

So either fix that (preferred solution) or, if it's not an option, apply the following patch (hack):

(patch on stable, something similar could be done on trunk; the method is added to the TracHTTPRequestHandler class)

Trac 0.10 release has same issue.

env:

os: windows 2003 & sp1 python: 2.4.3 standalone mode, tracd -s -d -a…

Browse it in local host will be very quick as my old trac 0.9.5. But it will very very slow from another PC in 100M LAN. It costs >60s!

In version 0.10, the following patch does the trick to disable dns reverse lookups (against trac/web/wsgi.py):

… meaning this issue is still open!

Oops, I missed Christians response to this :-P

In any case, I think we should disable reverse lookups in tracd to get rid of this problem. I don't see any value in reverse lookups and pretty much every web server I know has them disabled by default. Plus, tracd is meant for being run either for development, or behind a HTTP proxy.

Well, I'm all for disabling reverse lookups there, choose your patch ;)
