net-http-persistent 2.2

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.
2.2 / 2011-10-24
-
Minor Enhancements
-
Added timeouts for idle connections which are set through #idle_timeout. The default timeout is 5 seconds. Reducing the idle timeout is preferred over setting #retry_change_requests to true if you wish to avoid the “too many connection resets” error when POSTing data.
-
Documented tunables and settings in one place in Net::HTTP::Persistent
