net-http-persistent version 2.4 has been released!
* http://docs.seattlerb.org/net-http-persistent
* https://github.com/drbrain/net-http-persistent
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.
=== 2.4 / 2012-01-31
* Minor Enhancement
* net-http-persistent now complains if OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER is equal to
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE. If you have a platform that is broken this way
you must define the constant:
I_KNOW_THAT_OPENSSL_VERIFY_PEER_EQUALS_VERIFY_NONE_IS_WRONG = nil
at the top level of your application to disable the warning.
* Bug fix
* Fix persisting SSL sessions through HTTP proxies. Mechanize issue #178 by
Robert Poor, net-http-persistent issues #10, #11.
