I''m trying to get an app running to pull data from a variety of streaming APIs. I''m staring with the Twitter API and will be moving to others following. I''d prefer not to use an API-specific gem like TweetStream so I can reuse code and make things more efficient. I''m using YAJL (open to suggestions on other gems) to pull from the stream, but am getting an error when connecting. My code for the connection is: (username/password removed): max_allowed_errors = 1200 consecutive_errors = 0 while consecutive_errors < max_allowed_errors do url URI.parse("https://[username]:[password]!@stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/sample.json") begin Yajl::HttpStream.get(url) do |status| consecutive_errors = 0 # puts status.inspect end rescue Yajl::HttpStream::InvalidContentType consecutive_errors += 1 end sleep(0.25*consecutive_errors) end The error is: Yajl::HttpStream::HttpError in DashboardsController#streamit Code 200 expected got 0 The error refers to this line: Yajl::HttpStream.get(url) do |status| Appreciate any support on getting this running.
