faye version 0.1.0 has been released! - [http://github.com/jcoglan/faye](http://github.com/jcoglan/faye) Faye is an implementation of the Bayeux protocol in Ruby. It includes a server backend and an adapter for Rack, and a self-contained JavaScript client. Bayeux is a protocol designed to facilitate Comet, also known as ‘server push’ or ‘Ajax push’, a technique for pushing messages from the server to the client to minimize latency. NOTE this is not currently intended for large-scale use. It is being developed mostly as a tool for scripting multiple browsers and automating JavaScript testing. However, use of a well-known protocol should allow it to be repurposed fairly easily. I’m putting this out as a very early demo that includes just enough tested code to implement a significant chunk of Bayeux. My main plan is to use this for using a Ruby terminal to script multiple browsers at once and to run automated tests. I’m not intending it for large-scale use, although I would appreciate some help with scaling the server to multiple Ruby processes so it can run behind Passenger. I don’t really have experience with this sort of thing so pointers to introductory material and tools I should look at would be very much appreciated. There is no server-side client yet though that’s next on my to-do list. The gem includes the obligatory chat demo, which is a Twitter-like app written entirely in client-side JavaScript.
