nodejs response speed and nginx
- by user1502440
I'm just started testing nodejs, and wanted to get some help in understanding following behavior:
Example #1:
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function(req, res){
res.writeHeader(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end('foo');
}).listen(1001, '0.0.0.0');
Example #2:
var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function(req, res){
res.writeHeader(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.write('foo');
res.end('bar');
}).listen(1001, '0.0.0.0');
When testing response time in Chrome:
example #1 - 6-10ms
example #2 - 200-220ms
But, if test both examples through nginx proxy_pass
server{
listen 1011;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:1001;
}
}
i get this:
example #1 - 4-8ms
example #2 - 4-8ms
I am not an expert on either nodejs or nginx, and asking if someone can explain this?
nodejs - v.0.8.1
nginx - v.1.2.2
