Going to mine

Posted 2 days ago by icy

Ladies and Gentlemen, Spambots and Jackalopes, may we have your valuable attention please.

As you may have noticed, our trac was painfully slow most of the time and we missed some features that we would like to have. So we looked for ... [More] alternatives and found Redmine

It took some effort to migrate everything from trac to it but now most of it is done.
Some wiki pages couldn’t be converted 1:1, so we ask you to fix the formatting issues if you come across any and know how to do so.

Redmine also allows us to get rid of the old forums that had serious spam problems in the past.

trac.lighttpd.net will be read-only from now on and forum.lighttpd.net will probably be gone for good or read-only too.

So, without further ado, we want to unveil our new project haven.

Hope you like it and thanks for using lighty. [Less]

delay request handling for stupid crawlers

Posted about 1 month ago by moo

I’m sure you know what “Crawl-Delay” is, but you may or may not know that, not all search engine crawlers support this nice stuff.

What to do for those don’t obey the instrustion? They’ll eat all your ... [More] Mbits/month or slow your webserver down. OK, ban it with url.access-deny. This is the only option u can choose before. But you don’t want to remove your pages from the stupid search engine index, do you?

Here comes another option for you: with this patch, u can delay handling of a specified request for some seconds. Example configuration:

$HTTP["user-agent"] =~ "stupid-crawler" {
connection.delay-seconds = 2
}

OK, here’s the link to the lighttpd-2296-request-handle-delay.patch which applies to branches/lighttpd-1.4.x@2296

Be aware that this patch is to be reviewed before commited to repo. [Less]
