+= Known Issues
+
+Occasionally odd {issues}[link:ISSUES.html] arise without a transparent or
+acceptable solution.  Those issues are documented here.
+
+* Some libraries/applications may install signal handlers which conflict
+  with signal handlers unicorn uses.  Leaving "preload_app false"
+  (the default) will allow unicorn to always override existing signal
+  handlers.
+
+* Issues with FreeBSD jails can be worked around as documented by Tatsuya Ono:
+  http://mid.gmane.org/CAHBuKRj09FdxAgzsefJWotexw-7JYZGJMtgUp_dhjPz9VbKD6Q@mail.gmail.com
+
+* PRNGs (pseudo-random number generators) loaded before forking
+  (e.g. "preload_app true") may need to have their internal state
+  reset in the after_fork hook.  Starting with \Unicorn 3.6.1, we
+  have builtin workarounds for Kernel#rand and OpenSSL::Random users,
+  but applications may use other PRNGs.
+
+* Under some versions of Ruby 1.8, it is necessary to call +srand+ in an
+  after_fork hook to get correct random number generation.  We have a builtin
+  workaround for this starting with \Unicorn 3.6.1
+
+  See http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/4338
+
+* On Ruby 1.8 prior to Ruby 1.8.7-p248, *BSD platforms have a broken
+  stdio that causes failure for file uploads larger than 112K.  Upgrade
+  your version of Ruby or continue using Unicorn 1.x/3.4.x.
+
+* For notes on sandboxing tools such as Bundler or Isolate,
+  see the {Sandbox}[link:Sandbox.html] page.
+
+* nginx with "sendfile on" under FreeBSD 8 is broken when
+  uploads are buffered to disk.  Disabling sendfile is required to
+  work around this bug which should be fixed in newer versions of FreeBSD.
+
+* When using "preload_app true", with apps using background threads
+  need to restart them in the after_fork hook because threads are never
+  shared with child processes.  Additionally, any synchronization
+  primitives (Mutexes, Monitors, ConditionVariables) should be
+  reinitialized in case they are held during fork time to avoid
+  deadlocks.  The core Ruby Logger class needlessly uses a MonitorMutex
+  which can be disabled with a {monkey patch}[link:examples/logger_mp_safe.rb]
+
+== Known Issues (Old)
+
+* Under Ruby 1.9.1, methods like Array#shuffle and Array#sample will
+  segfault if called after forking.  Upgrade to Ruby 1.9.2 or call
+  "Kernel.rand" in your after_fork hook to reinitialize the random
+  number generator.
+
+  See http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2962 for more details
+
+* Rails 2.3.2 bundles its own version of Rack.  This may cause subtle
+  bugs when simultaneously loaded with the system-wide Rack Rubygem
+  which Unicorn depends on.  Upgrading to Rails 2.3.4 (or later) is
+  strongly recommended for all Rails 2.3.x users for this (and security
+  reasons).  Rails 2.2.x series (or before) did not bundle Rack and are
+  should be unnaffected.  If there is any reason which forces your
+  application to use Rails 2.3.2 and you have no other choice, then
+  you may edit your Unicorn gemspec and remove the Rack dependency.
+
+  ref: http://mid.gmane.org/20091014221552.GA30624@dcvr.yhbt.net
+  Note: the workaround described in the article above only made
+  the issue more subtle and we didn't notice them immediately.
+
+* WONTFIX: code reloading and restarts with Sinatra 0.3.x (and likely older
+  versions) apps is broken.  The workaround is to force production
+  mode to disable code reloading as well as disabling "run" in your
+  Sinatra application:
+    set :env, :production
+    set :run, false
+  Since this is no longer an issue with Sinatra 0.9.x apps, this will not be
+  fixed on our end.  Since Unicorn is itself the application launcher, the
+  at_exit handler used in old Sinatra always caused Mongrel to be launched
+  whenever a Unicorn worker was about to exit.
+
+  Also remember we're capable of replacing the running binary without dropping
+  any connections regardless of framework :)

+= The Philosophy Behind unicorn
+
+Being a server that only runs on Unix-like platforms, unicorn is
+strongly tied to the Unix philosophy of doing one thing and (hopefully)
+doing it well.  Despite using HTTP, unicorn is strictly a _backend_
+application server for running Rack-based Ruby applications.
+
+== Avoid Complexity
+
+Instead of attempting to be efficient at serving slow clients, unicorn
+relies on a buffering reverse proxy to efficiently deal with slow
+clients.
+
+unicorn uses an old-fashioned preforking worker model with blocking I/O.
+Our processing model is the antithesis of more modern (and theoretically
+more efficient) server processing models using threads or non-blocking
+I/O with events.
+
+=== Threads and Events Are Hard
+
+...to many developers.  Reasons for this is beyond the scope of this
+document.  unicorn avoids concurrency within each worker process so you
+have fewer things to worry about when developing your application.  Of
+course unicorn can use multiple worker processes to utilize multiple
+CPUs or spindles.  Applications can still use threads internally, however.
+
+== Slow Clients Are Problematic
+
+Most benchmarks we've seen don't tell you this, and unicorn doesn't
+care about slow clients... but <i>you</i> should.
+
+A "slow client" can be any client outside of your datacenter.  Network
+traffic within a local network is always faster than traffic that
+crosses outside of it.  The laws of physics do not allow otherwise.
+
+Persistent connections were introduced in HTTP/1.1 reduce latency from
+connection establishment and TCP slow start.  They also waste server
+resources when clients are idle.
+
+Persistent connections mean one of the unicorn worker processes
+(depending on your application, it can be very memory hungry) would
+spend a significant amount of its time idle keeping the connection alive
+<i>and not doing anything else</i>.  Being single-threaded and using
+blocking I/O, a worker cannot serve other clients while keeping a
+connection alive.  Thus unicorn does not implement persistent
+connections.
+
+If your application responses are larger than the socket buffer or if
+you're handling large requests (uploads), worker processes will also be
+bottlenecked by the speed of the *client* connection.  You should
+not allow unicorn to serve clients outside of your local network.
+
+== Application Concurrency != Network Concurrency
+
+Performance is asymmetric across the different subsystems of the machine
+and parts of the network.  CPUs and main memory can process gigabytes of
+data in a second; clients on the Internet are usually only capable of a
+tiny fraction of that.  unicorn deployments should avoid dealing with
+slow clients directly and instead rely on a reverse proxy to shield it
+from the effects of slow I/O.
+
+== Improved Performance Through Reverse Proxying
+
+By acting as a buffer to shield unicorn from slow I/O, a reverse proxy
+will inevitably incur overhead in the form of extra data copies.
+However, as I/O within a local network is fast (and faster still
+with local sockets), this overhead is negligible for the vast majority
+of HTTP requests and responses.
+
+The ideal reverse proxy complements the weaknesses of unicorn.
+A reverse proxy for unicorn should meet the following requirements:
+
+1. It should fully buffer all HTTP requests (and large responses).
+   Each request should be "corked" in the reverse proxy and sent
+   as fast as possible to the backend unicorn processes.  This is
+   the most important feature to look for when choosing a
+   reverse proxy for unicorn.
+
+2. It should spend minimal time in userspace.  Network (and disk) I/O
+   are system-level tasks and usually managed by the kernel.
+   This may change if userspace TCP stacks become more popular in the
+   future; but the reverse proxy should not waste time with
+   application-level logic.  These concerns should be separated
+
+3. It should avoid context switches and CPU scheduling overhead.
+   In many (most?) cases, network devices and their interrupts are
+   only be handled by one CPU at a time.  It should avoid contention
+   within the system by serializing all network I/O into one (or few)
+   userspace processes.  Network I/O is not a CPU-intensive task and
+   it is not helpful to use multiple CPU cores (at least not for GigE).
+
+4. It should efficiently manage persistent connections (and
+   pipelining) to slow clients.  If you care to serve slow clients
+   outside your network, then these features of HTTP/1.1 will help.
+
+5. It should (optionally) serve static files.  If you have static
+   files on your site (especially large ones), they are far more
+   efficiently served with as few data copies as possible (e.g. with
+   sendfile() to completely avoid copying the data to userspace).
+
+nginx is the only (Free) solution we know of that meets the above
+requirements.
+
+Indeed, the folks behind unicorn have deployed nginx as a reverse-proxy not
+only for Ruby applications, but also for production applications running
+Apache/mod_perl, Apache/mod_php and Apache Tomcat.  In every single
+case, performance improved because application servers were able to use
+backend resources more efficiently and spend less time waiting on slow
+I/O.
+
+== Worse Is Better
+
+Requirements and scope for applications change frequently and
+drastically.  Thus languages like Ruby and frameworks like Rails were
+built to give developers fewer things to worry about in the face of
+rapid change.
+
+On the other hand, stable protocols which host your applications (HTTP
+and TCP) only change rarely.  This is why we recommend you NOT tie your
+rapidly-changing application logic directly into the processes that deal
+with the stable outside world.  Instead, use HTTP as a common RPC
+protocol to communicate between your frontend and backend.
+
+In short: separate your concerns.
+
+Of course a theoretical "perfect" solution would combine the pieces
+and _maybe_ give you better performance at the end of the day, but
+that is not the Unix way.
+
+== Just Worse in Some Cases
+
+unicorn is not suited for all applications.  unicorn is optimized for
+applications that are CPU/memory/disk intensive and spend little time
+waiting on external resources (e.g. a database server or external API).
+
+unicorn is highly inefficient for Comet/reverse-HTTP/push applications
+where the HTTP connection spends a large amount of time idle.
+Nevertheless, the ease of troubleshooting, debugging, and management of
+unicorn may still outweigh the drawbacks for these applications.
+
+The {Rainbows!}[http://rainbows.rubyforge.org/] aims to fill the gap for
+odd corner cases where the nginx + unicorn combination is not enough.
+While Rainbows! management/administration is largely identical to
+unicorn, Rainbows! is far more ambitious and has seen little real-world
+usage.

+= Unicorn: Rack HTTP server for fast clients and Unix
+
+\This is a fork of Unicorn designed to run on Heroku. Heroku and Unicorn
+disagree on signal handling, so I've swapped Unicorn's handling of
+SIGINT/SIGTERM and SIGQUIT. Now, Unicorn can shut down gracefully on
+Heroku.
+
+Unicorn is an HTTP server for Rack applications designed to only serve
+fast clients on low-latency, high-bandwidth connections and take
+advantage of features in Unix/Unix-like kernels.  Slow clients should
+only be served by placing a reverse proxy capable of fully buffering
+both the the request and response in between \Unicorn and slow clients.
+
+== Features
+
+* Designed for Rack, Unix, fast clients, and ease-of-debugging.  We
+  cut out everything that is better supported by the operating system,
+  {nginx}[http://nginx.net/] or {Rack}[http://rack.rubyforge.org/].
+
+* Compatible with both Ruby 1.8 and 1.9.  Rubinius support is in-progress.
+
+* Process management: \Unicorn will reap and restart workers that
+  die from broken apps.  There is no need to manage multiple processes
+  or ports yourself.  \Unicorn can spawn and manage any number of
+  worker processes you choose to scale to your backend.
+
+* Load balancing is done entirely by the operating system kernel.
+  Requests never pile up behind a busy worker process.
+
+* Does not care if your application is thread-safe or not, workers
+  all run within their own isolated address space and only serve one
+  client at a time for maximum robustness.
+
+* Supports all Rack applications, along with pre-Rack versions of
+  Ruby on Rails via a Rack wrapper.
+
+* Builtin reopening of all log files in your application via
+  USR1 signal.  This allows logrotate to rotate files atomically and
+  quickly via rename instead of the racy and slow copytruncate method.
+  \Unicorn also takes steps to ensure multi-line log entries from one
+  request all stay within the same file.
+
+* nginx-style binary upgrades without losing connections.
+  You can upgrade \Unicorn, your entire application, libraries
+  and even your Ruby interpreter without dropping clients.
+
+* before_fork and after_fork hooks in case your application
+  has special needs when dealing with forked processes.  These
+  should not be needed when the "preload_app" directive is
+  false (the default).
+
+* Can be used with copy-on-write-friendly memory management
+  to save memory (by setting "preload_app" to true).
+
+* Able to listen on multiple interfaces including UNIX sockets,
+  each worker process can also bind to a private port via the
+  after_fork hook for easy debugging.
+
+* Simple and easy Ruby DSL for configuration.
+
+* Decodes chunked transfers on-the-fly, thus allowing upload progress
+  notification to be implemented as well as being able to tunnel
+  arbitrary stream-based protocols over HTTP.

+
+== Install
+
+The library consists of a C extension so you'll need a C compiler
+and Ruby development libraries/headers.
+
+You may download the tarball from the Mongrel project page on Rubyforge
+and run setup.rb after unpacking it:
+

+
+== Usage
+
+=== non-Rails Rack applications
+
+In APP_ROOT, run:
+
+  unicorn
+
+=== for Rails applications (should work for all 1.2 or later versions)
+
+In RAILS_ROOT, run:
+
+  unicorn_rails
+
+\Unicorn will bind to all interfaces on TCP port 8080 by default.
+You may use the +--listen/-l+ switch to bind to a different
+address:port or a UNIX socket.
+
+=== Configuration File(s)
+
+\Unicorn will look for the config.ru file used by rackup in APP_ROOT.
+
+For deployments, it can use a config file for \Unicorn-specific options
+specified by the +--config-file/-c+ command-line switch.  See
+Unicorn::Configurator for the syntax of the \Unicorn-specific options.
+The default settings are designed for maximum out-of-the-box
+compatibility with existing applications.
+
+Most command-line options for other Rack applications (above) are also
+supported.  Run `unicorn -h` or `unicorn_rails -h` to see command-line
+options.
+
+== Disclaimer
+
+There is NO WARRANTY whatsoever if anything goes wrong, but
+{let us know}[link:ISSUES.html] and we'll try our best to fix it.
+
+\Unicorn is designed to only serve fast clients either on the local host
