All: I recently wrote an LDAP library for Ruby called Net::LDAP, and I''ve noticed that quite a few people are using it to do authentication and authorization for Rails apps. I know there are several well-done login generators for Rails, but what about people that would rather use a directory? If we were to write a generator for Rails that used LDAP (or A/D) as the backend, would

I occasionally get a fatal error unable to delete epoll event: Bad file descriptor I think the attached patch will fix it. The patch does two things: 1) changes the error we look for from ENOENT to EBADF. It is hard to reproduce this error, but if I change the epoll_ctl line to epoll_ctl(epfd, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, 666, ed->GetEpollEvent()); it does return -1 with errno = EBADF on my Linux 2.6.9

My Rails application requires a very busy worker process running in the background at all times. I am launching this non-interactive process using script/runner. This process is very busy and is communicating with the MySQL server constantly. As I started putting some load on the system to test, I started running into performance issues. I have since discovered that Rails is only using 1

I''m using the current release branch from the repository (version_0) on freebsd 6.1 with ruby 1.8.4. This is the error that is generated when running the code below at the bottom of the message, plus a gdb bt. Sorry no debugging symbols built into ruby but maybe the bt will help anyways. terminate called after throwing an instance of ''std::runtime_error'' what():

I''ve actually found a way to make EventMachine listen to events from a serial port, but only by using the pure Ruby version, using Guilliame Pierronnet''s Ruby/SerialPort library. It turned out to be simpler than I thought it would be: require ''serialport'' $eventmachine_library = :pure_ruby require ''eventmachine'' module EventMachine class

Is there a way to authenticate with an IP address? I''m using the LoginGenerator, but would like to bypass the "before_filter :login_required " if a user is in a correct IP range... Anyone know of a solution? Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Announcing version 0.0.4 of Net::LDAP, the pure-Ruby LDAP library. Thanks to the many people who have used this library and sent in comments, suggestions, feature requests, and patches. An even bigger thank-you to the folks who have made themselves available to help with testing. Net::LDAP has been quite stable for several months now, so we bumped the development status of the library up to

We''re pleased to announce version 0.0.3 of Net::LDAP, the first pure-Ruby LDAP library. Net::LDAP intends to be a feature-complete LDAP client which can access as much as possible of the functionality of the most-used LDAP server implementations. This library does not wrap any existing native-code LDAP libraries, creates no Ruby extensions, and has no dependencies external to Ruby.

Hi, Anyone got any cool tricks for converting a Rails site (in this case, a typo installation) from a mysql database to a postgresql database? I''ve got it almost working -- I''m doing a SQL dump from mysql and loading it into postgres. However, mysql does booleans as a tinyint with 0 = false and 1 = true. When I try to import that into a postgres database that expects booleans

Francis, I read in the list archives back that a future EventMachine release will support epoll on Linux (i.e., it''s in the trunk). Better still, is there a possibility that EM will rely on libevent so that it will be architecture independent (i.e. epoll on Linux, kqueue on FreeBSD/Mac OS X, /dev/poll on Solaris)? This is how memcached is implemented, and it would be helpful to be able

Hi everyone, If you subclass EventMachine::Connection and call it outside an EventMachine::run event loop, EventMachine crashes! Example: class Put < EventMachine::Connection include EventMachine::Deferrable HOST="localhost" PORT=8080 def self.request(data) EventMachine.connect(HOST, PORT, self) {|c| c.instance_eval { @data = data } } end #

Hi, Anyone got an idea of how many web and database servers I''d need to push out 10,000 dynamic pages per second? Fairly simple pages and database queries. I''d appreciate recommendations for hardware. The clients for this project are anticipating large amounts of burst traffic. Joe

Is getsockname (or its equivalent) available to an EM Connection object? I''d like to access the local port number in my client application. --Michael

Hi everyone. Does anyone have any preferences or ideas for an interface for SSL certificates, both client-side and server-side? At present, the only interface is EventMachine::Connection#start_tls, which uses a built-in self-signed cert on the server side. On the cilent side, it accepts any well-formed cert (that is, it doesn''t check that the remote cert is signed by a trusted authority).

Just thought I''d let you know that your http parser worked great for creating an http protocol handler for Eventmachine. It wouldn''t take that much effort to use Eventmachine for Mongrel, might be worth a shot just to see how it does. A few things would need to be restructered, like HttpRequest where you read the rest of the body, and calling the handler. But it

Hello, I have been looking at the Ruby/EventMachine. First let me say it look very good. Reactor model with no threads makes for fast reliable server, and I have read about marvelous Twisted framework for Python and am glad to see something similar for Ruby. I am writing network app with Ruby threads now and it very slow, and I try new Ruby 1.9 with native threads that make it much slower.

Hi EM Gurus, I''m hoping someone can shed some light on the following... I''m using a 3rd party (legacy) server that can accept up to 8 simultaneous connections on one port. I''ve been able to make multiple connections to this server from within one call to EventMachine::run {...}. Specificaly, I can access each connection separately using: em_thread = Thread.new do

All, does anyone use the Oasis DSML standard? It''s a mapping between standard LDAP/LDIF operations and data structures to XML. There are some Java tools that handle DSML. I just saw a requirement for accessing an LDAP server by a service that requires results encoded in DSML, so I thought I''d better add this support to the Net::LDAP library. Is this of interest to any of

Short question: is there way to tell EM to actually send data after send_data call? I''m building a file transferring app. I send Mashal.dump''ed metadata first, and then - the file contents (chunked). I found a silly bug: receive_data() gets marshalled metadata and the first chunk of the file in a single variable. Like that: c1.send_data("meta")

We are building a web-based application with Ruby on Rails and MySQL backend. The client now wants us to add various workflow features that will eventually expand into SOAP web services. These workflow features include tasks such as automatically sending reminders for due tasks, or if a particular set of information hasn''t been logged by a certain time to automatically send an email
