TFPHTTPServer limit speed

[LemonParty]

Is it possible to limit the speed of responce in TFPHTTPServer? I want for example limit the speed to 1 Mb/s per 1 IP.

I don't think this is possible by default. You should need to program this yourself by limiting the time when transmitting chunks (by adding delay).

The more important question is: why do you want to do this??

Even when limiting the speed, it might still be a problem if you have too many users (because speed of the transfer isn't the only thing the server does). In that case you might be better off installing a nginx instance in front of your TFPHTTPServer to limit speed and connections.

Understood. Will try nginx.

You can do very simply like @rvk said (delay on chunks).
With Indy (I use it in my servers) in "OnCommandGet" event use a calculated delay between answers (calculate the bytes send for the last time check).

There is no issue using sleep, since you use one for thread connection: 1 thousand thread -> 1 thousand sleep ... and the problems eventually are not the sleep but the threads.

I used it before I update to 10 Gbit FO lines in my home and my office.
