Hi Guys I am starting a new thread as it seems my gripe isnt to do with Juggernaut but with TCPSocket - which is used by Juggernaut. Turns out that the thing that actually hangs up in Juggernaut after x (130/1500/16000) iterations of (1..1000).each {|i| Juggernaut.show_clients} Is actually the line res << @socket.readline(CR) if response in juggernaut.rb. Seems @socket.readline behaves nicely when there is something to read, but fails miserably with a hangup when there isnt. Even a socket to my pop mailserver fails: @socket = TCPSocket.new (mailserver,110) @socket.readline >> "+OK\r\n" @socket.readline >> hang Maybe I am grasping at straws here - for a full description of my problem with Juggernaut on Windows see http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/210450#new Any ideas would be appreciated!
