Format's already available as a member variable, so use it!
Fixes some error reponses in api/statusnet/groups/leave.json which were coming through as XML.
May fix some others as well.
$config['site']['logperf'] = true; // to record & dump total hits of each type and the runtime to syslog
$config['site']['logperf_detail'] = true; // very verbose -- dump the individual cache keys and queries as they get used (may contain private info in some queries)
Seeing 180 cache gets on a timeline page seems not unusual currently; since these run in serial, even relatively small roundtrip times can add up heavily.
We should consider ways to reduce the number of round trips, such as more frequently storing compound objects or the output of processing in memcached.
Doing parallel multi-key lookups could also help by collapsing round-trip times, but might not be easy to fit into SN's object model. (For things like streams this should actually work pretty well -- grab the list, then when it's returned go grab all the individual items in parallel and return the list)
* dropped unnecessary join on notice table
* made the function actually static, since it makes no sense as an instance variable. The only caller (in AttachmentList) is updated.
MySQL stores TIMESTAMP columns as UTC, but with a local time interface. (SRSLY?!) DATETIME columns are always bare and assumed to be local time, but we keep only UTC in them.
Forcing the session time_zone to UTC means we won't have to worry as much about what we're sending/receiving in there.
Also will let us remove the hack in master commit a7abb2323e for session tweaks
Had to tweak statusnet.ini to remove the DB_DATAOBJECT_MYSQLTIMESTAMP bitfield constant on session.modified; while it sounds like a useful and legit setting, it actually just means that DB_DataObject silently fails to pass through any attempts to explicitly set the value. As a result, MySQL does its default behavior which is to insert the current *LOCAL* time, which is useless.
This was leading to early GC west of GMT, or late GC east of it. Early GC could at worst destroy all live sessions (whoever's session *triggered* GC is fine, as the session then gets saved right back.)
