If I was you I'd ask how to do this over on comp.lang.ruby. My guess is you'll have a better time doing this entirely outside of rails.
BTW--the first appendix of the pickaxe book covers ruby's socket library. If you haven't already looked at that, there could be some useful stuff in there... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Hull Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2009 11:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Rails] Re: How to keep persistent socket connections? > Today I'm going to try opening the socket and then storing the socket > in the Rails cache, in order to see if that socket remains open and > useable even while just sitting in the cache (I'm kind of thinking it > won't). Yeah, that didn't work because caching the connection makes it immutable, which means you can no longer write data to it. But you know what I think *will* work? Storing the connection(s) as class vars. So I'm trying that next. I will report back here afterward for anyone who might be interested. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
