unicorn

Maybe here? https://github.com/defunkt/unicorn/blob/2c347116305338710331... Admittedly, that's an older copy, I'd have to look up a newer copy of the source to see if that function or a similar one still exists. The change was made in Unicorn v6 according to https://yhbt.net/unicorn/NEWS.html so I'd have to find code earlier than that, maybe. https://yhbt.net/unicorn.git/tree/ext/unicorn_http/unicorn_h... looks like it's still there. If I'm reading this right, the init function in the above unicorn_http.rl function is what's referred to as HttpRequest#new thanks to https://yhbt.net/unicorn.git/tree/lib/unicorn/http_request.r... but I might be misreading this. Actually... compared to uWSGI's source code, this is quite pleasant to read, warts and all. :D

I really like Unicorn[1]. It's a very well-architected webserver with a nicely structured codebase. Reading the code has taught me about some neat tricks, e.g. self-pipe trick, and a lot about `fork`. Additionally, I've on occasion consulted the Linux kernel and PostgreSQL repos. Would recommend, although I'm definitely either lying or very ignorant if I said I was familiar with them. 1: https://github.com/defunkt/unicorn

Based on a blog post that made the rounds a while ago -- http://tomayko.com/writings/unicorn-is-unix -- Unicorn might be a good read for Ruby-related stuff. https://github.com/defunkt/unicorn
