Improved version of polipo-trimcache

A day or so after downloading Polipo, I decided to try polipo-trimcache. I had 36MB of cache, so I tried a dry-run down to 30MB. It took it all the way down to 16MB! Well, this seemed a little weird, but fortunately I had run a du on the cache shortly before, so I recognized the last file deleted. I had browsed for awhile, accumulating about 4MB of small files in the cache, and then saw a flash video. The .flv file was 16MB, so to get the cache below 30M, the .flv had to go. But in theory, the rest of the files could have stayed. So, I wrote a new version of polipo_trimcache that fixes this. It first finds all the files that would usually be deleted, but just stores them in a list. It then goes back and adds any files that appear to fit back on the end of cobjs. Finally, it puts the list to delete on the end of cobjs, and runs what is basically J. P.'s original deletion code, just in a different order. In the pathological case above, this deleted the .flv file and nothing else. In most cases, it doesn't do a whole lot, but it usually gets to the desired megabyte size to within the printed precision! Also, I happen to be running this on Windows (with Cygwin, hence du), and Python doesn't know that the NTFS block size is 4K. So I added an option to force a block size. Then Python 3.0 came out, so I made the program compatible with versions 2.5-3.0 (and it probably still works with 2.4 too.)

Larocque, <[email protected]>, OpenPGP 0xF61D2E61 # This software is in the public domain. # # Polipo is a small, caching HTTP proxy with nifty features like # client and server IPv6 support, pipelining, and the caching of # partial objects. See: http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/ # # Polipo doesn't have any built-in facility for keeping its cache # directory under a given fixed size. This script implements that: it # trims your cache directory to a target size by removing the files with # oldest access times until the cache size is smaller than or equal to # the target size. # # This script requires Python 2.2 or greater. # # Some notes about polipo_trimcache's operation: # * Send Polipo SIGUSR1 prior to and SIGUSR2 after running this # script, as if you were using Polipo's own cache-purging # facility. This is explained in the manual: # http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/manual/Purging.html # * If you run Polipo non-root (as you should), you should also run # this script as the same user. It is conceivable that, given a # carefully-crafted cache directory, polipo_trimcache could mangle # with things outside the cache, either because of bugs in the # script or in Python. Restricting this script to execution by # the same or another isolated user will protect you from problems # a cracker could cause if Polipo were cracked. (No current # security issues with any of these pieces of software are known # by the author at the time of writing.) # * Hidden files and files other than regular files and directories # are skipped. This means symlinks are not honored, with the # exception of the root cache directory. This shouldn't matter # for normal use. # * On systems that report it, polipo_trimcache uses st_blocks # from stat(). If st_blocks is 0 for a given file/directory, it # uses st_size instead. You can override and give a block # size with the --force-blocksize option. # * polipo_trimcache tries to match the TARGET_SIZE as closely as # possible. This means that some small files older than # "Latest file removed" may remain in the cache. # * polipo_trimcache removes directories when it removes the last # file from them (except for the root cache directory). # # Bugs: (both of which are caused by the last point above) # * Empty directories aren't removed if they didn't contain any # files to begin with. # * Dry-run mode never pretends to remove directories, since it # never removes files, enabling the condition for directories to # be removed. # # The latest version of this program can be found at the URL: # http://ely.ath.cx/~piranha/software/polipo_trimcache/ # This program has been signed with my public key. Its fingerprint is: # 5612 10A8 4986 2D85 A995 252B 4C02 5E02 F61D 2E61 # The detached signature can be found at the URL: # http://ely.ath.cx/~piranha/software/polipo_trimcache/polipo_trimcache-0.2.py.asc # # Changelog: # version 0.3 by Ken Brazier (2008/Nov/29) # Improved size targeting, added force-blocksize. # Also made Python 3.0 compatible. # version 0.2 (2004/Aug/10) # Cleaned up for initial release. # version 0.1 (2004/Jun/27) # Initially written. # help = \ """Usage: polipo_trimcache [-fnpvVDh?] [-b blocksize] POLIPO_CACHE_DIR TARGET_SIZE -f, --force Force questionable behavior. Currently this means continuing even when the TARGET_SIZE is less than 2KB. -n, --no-op, --dry-run Don't make any changes to the cache contents. Print the files that would be deleted instead. -p, --precise-expiry Determines last-access time of cache files by opening them and reading their X-Polipo-Access header. The default behavior is to use the last-modification time of the file, which should be faster. Analogous to the Polipo configuration option "preciseExpiry". -v, --verbose Verbose operation. Prints every stage of the operation, and reports hidden or special files. -b, --force-blocksize Force a given blocksize. Python can't determine the block size on all filesystems; if you can, do so here. If you don't understand this option, ignore it. :) -V, --version Print version number, and exit. -D, --debug Debugging mode. Report each directory on cache transversal, and each unlink/rmdir operation. -h, -?, --help Print usage information. POLIPO_CACHE_DIR specifies the root of the Polipo cache. TARGET_SIZE specifies the size polipo_trimcache trims down to, expressed in bytes. (You may specify megabytes or gigabytes by appending "M" or "G" to the size argument. The quantifiers [KMGTPEZY] are supported (future- proof!).) Example: polipo_trimcache /var/local/cache/polipo 256M Deletes enough files from said cache directory to make it use under 256 megabytes.
