Hey folks, I was playing around with adding Comet (a javascript technology used to receive events without AJAX polling) support to Mongrel. More info about Comet here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_%28programming%29) I sort of got it working. My code is available at: http;//cyll.org/comet.tar.gz Run comet.rb from inside the directory and point your browser at: http://localhost:5555/ The fly in the ointment is that until a Comet request finishes, that URL mount point stops responding. I assume this is because of how thread management happens in Mongrel. Leaving the reques...

I''m using code from Topher Cyll''s book "Practical Ruby Projects" to create Ruby wrappers to C methods in Apple''s CoreMIDI library. The trap here is I''m calling those C methods to generate MIDI elsewhere in the OS in some unknown way. That makes speccing weird. I''ve been able to refac...

Hi, I found this article http://cyll.org/blog/tech/2006-08-09-themongrelcomet.html on mongrel and COMET very interesting. I ran the code, and it worked just as Christopher explained. The one thing I don''t understand is why mongrel can only handle 1 connection at a time. I thought that mongrel used a thread per connection....
