<h1>Multiplexer<a class="headerlink" href="#name" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>

<p>Multiplexer is a remap plug-in that allows a request to be multiplexed one or more times and sent to

different remap entries. Both headers and body (in case of POST or PUT methods, only) are copied

into the new requests.</p>

<div class="section" id="description">

<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

<p>Actions:</p>

<ol class="arabic simple">

<li>Adds <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">X-Multiplexer:</span> <span class="pre">original</span></code> header into client’s request.</li>

<li>Copies client’s request (bodies are copied by transforming the request)</li>

<li>Changes <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Host</span></code> header of the copy according to <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pparam</span></code> from the remap rule.</li>

<li>Changes <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">X-Multiplexer</span> <span class="pre">header</span></code> to “copy”.</li>

<li>Sends the copied request with <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">TSHttpConnect</span></code>.</li>

<p>Multiplexer dispatches the request in background without blocking the original request. Multiplexed

responses are drained and discarded.</p>

<p>A global timeout can be overwritten through <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">multiplexer__timeout</span></code> environment variable representing how many nanoseconds to wait. A default 1s timeout is hard-coded.</p>

<p>Please use <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">multiplexer</span></code> tag for debugging purposes. While debugging, multiplexed requests and

responses are printed into the logs.</p>

<p>Multiplexer produces the following statistics consumed with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">traffic_ctl</span></code>:</p>

<ul class="simple">

<li>failures: number of failed multiplexed requests</li>

<li>hits: number of successful multiplexed requests</li>

<li>requests: total number of multiplexed requests</li>

<li>time(avg): average time taken between multiplexed requests and their responses</li>

<li>timeouts: number of multiplexed requests which timed-out</li>

<li>size(avg): average size of multiplexed responses</li>

<p>Example remap.config:</p>

<h3>Parsing Chunk Encoded Data<a class="headerlink" href="#parsing-chunk-encoded-data" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>

<p>Multiplexer parses chunked data with its own home brew parser. In the parser <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">size_</span></code> is the size of

a chunk to be consumed. The local variable / parameter <code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">size</span></code> is raw input size as read from an

<code class="code docutils literal"><span class="pre">TSIOBufferBlock</span></code>. The “size states” are marked blue.</p>
