Defined in:
lib/thin/backends/base.rb

Overview

A Backend connects the server to the client. It handles:

  • connection/disconnection to the server

  • initialization of the connections

  • manitoring of the active connections.

Implementing your own backend

You can create your own minimal backend by inheriting this class and defining the connect and disconnect method. If your backend is not based on EventMachine you also need to redefine the start, stop, stop! and config methods.

Direct Known Subclasses

SwiftiplyClient, TcpServer, UnixServer
