hey guys

I'm trying to rapidly post data every few seconds using http.get. I'm not succeeding using http.get RB call, for various reasons, over slow network connections. Am curious what other ideas might be out there.

I'm trying to post data as a url http.get:
server.com/get.pl?&val1=1&val2=2 etc..
I build the url in a string, then make a get.

Over a hard connection to the server, everything works great. Over a cellular connection, things get complicated.

Regardless of if I use the timeout http.get call, or if I use the blocking http.get call, usually they both lag or crash. Trying to make rapid posts using the timeout non-blocking eventually crashes the program, but when I use the blocking, sometimes the program just goes into a permanent beach-ball entirely.

So it's to the point that I've written code in perl using LWP and I write the data to a file from RB and let perl do the posts. There's gotta be a better way. If someone's been doing posts successfully, I could really use some advice on what's working for you.

Thanks
Tim
