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.

2.1 / 2011-09-19

• Minor Enhancement

  • For HTTPS connections, SSL sessions are now reused avoiding the extra round trips and computations of extra SSL handshakes. If you have problems with SSL session reuse it can be disabled by Net::HTTP::Persistent#reuse_ssl_sessions

• Bug Fixes

  • The default certificate store is now used even if #verify_mode was not set. Issue #7, Pull Request #8 by Matthew M. Boedicker
