I'm not quite sure how this is relevant (though I fully admit I might be missing some of the complexities of ruby, camping and/or threads), since I'd like the process to be part of a Camping App, which is presumably going to be running fairly consistently anyway. Unless you're suggesting an entirely external app that does the fetching and somehow pushes the results into the database of the camping application so it can display it? Anyway, I know I can set up a cronjob with curl to regularly get the page and thus make the controller logic fetch the feeds, I was just wondering if there was a way to do it in the app itself, since I like applications that are self-contained.
