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

Hi, I''ve been doing some experiments with php and if can use something like <?php for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) { echo "hello world"; flush(); sleep(10); } ?> to keep a http link open for an arbitrary amount of time and routinely display "hello world" in the browser window. Is is possible to write a mongrel handler to do something similar? Thanks

So someone finally named server-push through HTTP-keepalive "Comet" It''s also been implemented in a very nice Java/Javascript library called DWR. http://ajaxian.com/archives/dwr-20-reverse-ajax Has there been any discussion by "the core" about adding this to Rails 1.2? :) -- seth at subimage interactive http://www.subimage.com/sublog/ -------------- next part

Just out of curiosity, is there a plan to support Comet (name coined by the dojo guys) w/ prototype? Comet represents persisting an http connection for low latency data operations. It also represents a nice alternative to polling. Jim _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org

Hi, I just got at work an MGE UPS Comet EX RT 7 and I can communicate fine with it through mge-shut, it detects correctly when on battery. I am using Nut 2.0.3 on Linux (RHEL 3). I am trying to simulate a low battery condition to test my shutdown procedure by setting lowbatt to 98%: driver.parameter.lowbatt: 98 but the ups reaches this value, goes to 97% and still no LB. I tried to change,

Hi everyone, We just got an MGE Comet EX 11 RT with extra battery (all 250kg of it..) and I have talked to it with NUT. One thing I see is the frequency.. input.frequency: 500 output.frequency: 500 It appears to be in tenths of a Hz vs Hz as I see on a Pulsar Extreme. I'm using NUT 2.0.3 on FreeBSD 6.1 Thanks. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software -

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. It appears that each registered handler can only handle 1

I wrote an x-sendfile thing for the railshandler to get mongrel to catch the response header and stream out files from an application I''m writing but I''m pretty sure that zed said he''d built in x-sendfile somewhere already. I couldn''t find it, could someone lead me to it? Does mongrel work with SSL? If not is anyone interested in having someone write in SSL

Hey so, People are asking about Mongrel Ruby 1.9 compatibility. Isn''t the point of 1.9 for library developers to have time to get ready for 2.0? It''s not like 1.9 is a production release. Evan -- Evan Weaver Cloudburst, LLC

Hello Guys, I''m reviewing the code for 1.9, and forgot about this when we first spoke on this subject. The current way we stop threads is using Thread#raise to spread StopServer exception, which will not work as expected in 1.9. 1.9 will treat raised exceptions as #kill, like JRuby does, so the worker threads will not finish serving the client and _then_ exiting, but will be

Are there any rails projects using streaming http servers for low latency ajax chat? I''m going to write some ajax chat stuff and don''t want to re-invent the wheel.

My wife and I have been working on our own task-listing, time-tracking web application, and we''re really interested in some feedback as we ourselves feel we''ve come a long way.

I''m new to rails, started first project today. I''m also using flex and want to go RESTful over HTTP as much as possible, most posts seem to think this is not possible! Everything runs RESTfuly fine in the flex local sandbox, but fails in the remote sandbox due to security. I''m using as3httpclientlib as HTTPService doesn''t do the job. Flash sends a request

I am thinking about migrating a Java based Web Application to Ruby & Rails. Before I start the work I need more information about the runtime environment. I am forced to use Windows 2003 Server and I need SSL. My Java Web Apps all run on Apache 2.x with any of the many J2EE App Servers (Tomcat, Geronimo, etc...) an Windows without any problems. From reading the mongrel web-site I

Hello, I''m seeking a book on rails deployment (I think a general deployment on nix book can helps too) I need in depth information about Apache, FastCGI, (LightTPD maybe). I was thinking always I know what a web server is! but when I think more deeply about it (after reading Capistrano doc) it seems I need more info about app, web and db servers. stuff like how to config the app server

Hi, I am trying to use ruby int an embedded web server. The environment does not have the luxury of CGI or WebBrick. I find limited documentation on how to get this to work. As a test program on windows, I tried the code in the section below. I have the issues. 1. Is public/dispatch.rb the right script to invoke a rails app? If so, what is the right way to invoke dispatch.rb? 2.

Hi I have some questions regarding threads in Mongrel and Rails. According to the FAQ: "Ruby on Rails is not thread safe so there is a synchronized block around the calls to Dispatcher.dispatch. This means that everything is threaded right before and right after Rails runs. While Rails is running there is only one controller in operation at a time." Isn''t this going
