If you reassign a variable then its old contents will eventually be garbage collected (assuming no other references to it). You are likely to run into other problems though here: have you thought about concurrent users using the app at the same time, or what happens when you have multiple mongrels / passenger instances ? Lastly it looks like @socket is an instance variable of your controller, since every request is served by a new controller instance @socket will always be nil.
