Hi,
I noticed there's a trick to accelerate file downloads for nginx ("X_accel_redirect"), The following patch adds the same feature for Apache's xsendfile.
Awesome, thanks. Committed in 3283:32c4edacdc99, and the instructions below have been added to:
http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Config/ApacheProxy
--nate
To enable it:
- Download, Compile, Install mod_xsendfile
http://tn123.ath.cx/mod_xsendfile/
Make sure your apache configuration has the correct "LoadModule" for xsendfile.
In the apache's configuration relevant to galaxy, add the two directives:
XSendFile ON and XSendFileAllowAbove ON
Example: ReWriteEngine on ReWriteRule ^/galaxy$ /galaxy/ [R] RewriteRule ^/galaxy(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8080$1 [P] <Location "/galaxy" > order allow,deny allow from all XSendFile on XSendFileAllowAbove on
</Location>
- In "universe_wsgi.ini", add the following parameter:
apache_xsendfile = true
If all worked well, whenever a user downloads a dataset (via the "save" link), the actual file transfer will be delegated to back apache.
