- GitHub - drbrain/net-http-persistent: Thread-safe persistent connections with Net::HTTP
Manages persistent connections using Net::HTTP plus a speed fix for Ruby
1.8.
It’s thread-safe too!
Using persistent HTTP connections can dramatically increase the speed of
HTTP.
Creating a new HTTP connection for every request involves an extra TCP
round-trip and causes TCP congestion avoidance negotiation to start
over.
Net::HTTP supports persistent connections with some API methods but does
not
handle reconnection gracefully. Net::HTTP::Persistent supports
reconnection
and retry according to RFC 2616.
