similar to: Database Triggered Events in Rails.

Here''s a gedanken experiment for those w/ far more knowledge than I about ActiveRecord, etc.: Let''s say my database is very remote and on a very slow machine. Let''s further say that my app has an action that leads to a very simple insert into the "impressions" table of the db, a la "INSERT INTO impressions(docid) VALUES($docid);" - and

I have a bunch of real uses for BackgroundDrb, but I also a very simple need to delay sending an email for about 5 seconds after a rails action completes. Basically I need to leave time for the DB to commit and sync to the slaves before the email can be sent Is BackgroundDb the right tool for this job? Any other suggestions on ways to implement this? (I have seen suggestions to create a

Hi, I need to download an image, and I''ve mucked about with Net::HTTP resp = Net::HTTP.get_response(''www.mydomain.com'', ''/test.jpg'') f = File.new("test.jpg","w") f.write(response.body) And various other combinations using HTTP.get etc. Anyway, I get an image, but it looks very psychedelic. This is obviously not the correct way.

I''m looking at the documentation: http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/Net/HTTP.html And I notice two uses of Net::HTTP. Both are using GET requests. But what''s the difference? When to use which? Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port) do |http| request = Net::HTTP::Get.new uri response = http.request request # Net::HTTPResponse object end uri =

Thought I''d post this in case it''s of use to anyone. Maybe even a recipe? It''s just some simple helpers to show AIM status on a webpage. I searched before coding it, and didn''t find anything similar. Maybe that''s because it was so simple :) These methods belong in a helper (such as app/helpers/application_helper.rb) # begin AIM helper methods def

I''ve broken away -- partially at least -- from the dark side. I''m a long-time MS dev. I heard about Ruby and RR from Scott Hanselman (http://www.hanselman.com/blog/). He''s a great blogger on things in the MS world but he''s always provided a broader perspective. And he found great beauty in Ruby and RR and said as much. I had the opportunity to try out

I was reading here and there about the differences between Merb and Rails [1] and became curious about statements such as this: > It is threadsafe with configurable Mutex Locks (Routing is also > threadsafe) Having mucked with the routes system, I had this awful feeling that I don''t understand threading well enough to know if my contribution is "thread safe".

Hi, In my application I fetch a webpage with Net::HTTP.get_response(url). For creating a unit test I don''t want to be depended on an internet connection. So I tried to give an url like that: "file:///c:/mydir/mypage.html" (this url works in webbrower). But it seems that this is not the right protocol for Net::HTTP. Is there any possibility to use such

I''m trying to interface with the flickr API to pull my photos into my site. I don''t want to use the "flickr.rb" gem, I''d like to do it the other way so I can learn (plus I had trouble loading the gem on my server). Anyway, here''s what I have: #Application.rb controller def get_response(path, http) request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(path)

Hi. mail_log_events is nice addition but how to log who exactly triggered particular event? For example 5 users from 5 IP addresses uses single imap user/mailbox. One of them deletes email and I'm logging delete related events. The only logged thing is: dovecot: imap(user): delete: box=INBOX, uid=673287, msgid=<some at thing>, size=1230 which tells me nothing about who triggered

Hi, I put a --noop into the rc file for puppet client and restarted it and watched it log the above message. My problem with the above message is it doesn''t give enough detail as to what was discovered and what the 2 events were (mode difference, file existence, etc.) Is there a way to up the logging level for a puppet agent --noop observation run? I tried adding --verbose in the rc

I''m building an http communicator class for a web service API wrapper and I''m trying to go through the BDD process in doing so. I''m having a bit of a struggle figuring out how to set up the tests in relation to isolating things appropriately as well as testing behavior vs testing implementation.
