Cometd client for Ruby

Ruby
1

I am going to have to connect to a comet server using Ruby. What I need
is
something that can be used directly from a Ruby program that has
absolutely
nothing to do with Rails.

rayeux is no longer supported and the last commit was 2 years ago
faye (the replacement given on the rayeux page) is a 404 on github

All the links that Google kicks up seem to be completely obsessed with
using Javascript in Rails applications or want me to set up a node.js
environment for some reason. I just need to talk to a server without
excess
baggage.

Can someone point me to something simple that will let a Ruby script
talk
to a cometd server?

I’ve not used a comet server before, but would a browser interface like
Watir-webdriver or Mechanize work for you?

Thanks for the suggestion but nope. Thats an insane amount of baggage to
be
carrying just to connect to a server.

I may have to resort to writing the application in Java :frowning:

Ah so it is still alive. Thanks I will install and investigate this

Documentation never seems to be updated, I find severl gems listed in
rubygems spit up 404s to their homepages, especially when they’re in
github, but I end up searching github and sometimes find them again. I
am unsure why ppl do not updated their .gemspecs with new home page info
so rubygems can point to the right place.
