hello list!
I like merb a lot, it frees me from dropping to mongrel every time i
want to stream something.
i have an action which will stream a list of JSON objects (separated
by semicolons). unfortunately because of Mongrel's write-only header
hash, once a Content-Length header has been written, I can never again
tell it to not send such a thing - and streaming doesn't work if there
is a Content-Length header present.
I've been forced into returning a Proc like this from my action
Proc.new do
response.write("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n")
response.write("Cache-Control: no-cache\n")
response.write("Pragma: no-cache\n")
response.write("Content-type: text/json\n\n")
while true
sleep wait
response.write json
end
response.done = true
end
writing the headers myself. i'd much prefer to do something like this:
Proc.new do
response.send_status_no_connection_close(nil) # nil = no content-length
response.send_header
response.write("\n\n")
while true
sleep wait
response.write json
end
response.done = true
end
Does anyone have suggestions on how to clean up my code so that I
don't need to touch raw HTTP?
Thanks! ry
