Performance

This is a library module. It provides no out of the box functionality other then providing an API that other modules/code can use. Other projects might require/recommend this module. Install HTTPRL only if other modules recommend or require it.

What does httprl do?

Using stream_select() it will send http requests out in parallel. These requests can be made in a blocking or non-blocking way. Blocking will wait for the http response; Non-Blocking will close the connection not waiting for the response back. The API for httprl is similar to the Drupal 7 version of drupal_http_request().

As a bonus, a simple threading library is built on top of the parallel http requests functionality. This allows you to split a job and have multiple http "workers" running this split job in parallel. Anything that takes a long time to do can greatly benefit from using threads.

Benchmarks

Session proxy is not a module: it is a replacement for Drupal core session handling API.

It acts as a proxy between fixed core procedural API towards a fully object oriented, more flexible and easier to extend session management API.

Basically, it strongly encapsulate the original API, separating user management against raw session storage: by using it you are able to implement any session storage engine (memcache, redis, ... ) without handling cookies and by users yourself.

In order to perform a "rush" performance test you will need to allow the app to hit a URL on your site and return only "42" for verification.

This module provides a PSR-0 compatible autoloader. It can be also used as a map-based autoloader.

This module uses Queue to rebuild node access in a non-disruptive
manner. This module depends on drupal_queue.
