Hi. Tuned some perf tests (Aleph, Immutant) for https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ and was hinted by @mpenet that Net would be interesting too. The perf in my test seems really bad, so I guess I'm doing something wrong.

what am I doing wrong?

How to reproduce it

• run a server
• curl -X "A : B" http://localhost:32415

Result

it hangs.

Expected result

sends a 400

Is there a measured need to avoid reflection? Several things break when type hints are applied (channel/channel, write! and write-and-flush! no longer working on groups, etc.)

I'm trying to figure out how to use the http.client library. Is there a way to get a string output with a request?

(require 'net.http.client :as client)

(def bs (async/<!! (:body (client/request {:request-method :get :uri "http://www.bing.com"}))))
  
(slurp (binary/input-stream (.nioBuffer bs)))
=> ""

Because of the (try (finally )) in response-handler client.clj

Apr 27, 2018 8:25:00 AM io.netty.channel.AbstractChannelHandlerContext invokeExceptionCaught
WARNING: An exception 'java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No implementation of method: :take! of protocol: #'clojure.core.async.impl.protocol

ng the following exception:

y.handler.codec.http.DefaultHttpResponse

Recent code relies on core.async's executor for a number of things and the need for a specific executor to be provided with the config could now be forfeited.

The two remaining operations done on the provided executor are now:

• get-response whose sole blocking operation is to call the provided ring-handler
• The synchronized call to close-future

Using Epoll on the server initially throws for a protocol problem. Once that's fixed (PR #16) I get

io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AbstractUnsafe closeForcibly
WARNING: Failed to close a channel.

Here's my server call (which worked with some patches, merged in beta4, before the protocols)

(tcp/server {:handler (pipeline)
                    :group (EpollEventLoopGroup.)
                    :channel EpollServerSocketChannel}
                    "localhost" 50000)

Everything works fine without Epoll.

In net.tcp/server the returned function doesn't terminate client connections. Am I misunderstanding how this should work or what it should do (I've never used Netty before finding this project)?

To duplicate:

• Add some code to the chat server example to hang on to the returned function (I dumped it into an atom)
• Run the chat server example
• Connect to the server twice (I used netcat in two terminals)
• Call the saved saved function but don't close the terminals or quit either netcat instance.
• Continue sending messages between clients.
  • This continues until the clients quit (close! does work in a handler), the read timeout is reached, or the JVM terminates.
