Overview

Persistent connections for Net::HTTP

Net::HTTP::Persistent maintains persistent connections across all the servers you wish to talk to. For each host:port you communicate with a single persistent connection is created.

Multiple Net::HTTP::Persistent objects will share the same set of connections.

For each thread you start a new connection will be created. A Net::HTTP::Persistent connection will not be shared across threads.

You can shut down the HTTP connections when done by calling #shutdown. You should name your Net::HTTP::Persistent object if you intend to call this method.

Example:

require 'net/http/persistent'

uri = URI 'http://example.com/awesome/web/service'

http = Net::HTTP::Persistent.new 'my_app_name'

# perform a GET
response = http.request uri

# create a POST
post_uri = uri + 'create'
post = Net::HTTP::Post.new post_uri.path
post.set_form_data 'some' => 'cool data'

# perform the POST, the URI is always required
response http.request post_uri, post

SSL

SSL connections are automatically created depending upon the scheme of the URI. SSL connections are automatically verified against the default certificate store for your computer. You can override this by changing verify_mode or by specifying an alternate cert_store.

Here are the SSL settings, see the individual methods for documentation:

#certificate

This client’s certificate

#ca_file

The certificate-authority

#cert_store

An SSL certificate store

#private_key

The client’s SSL private key

#reuse_ssl_sessions

Reuse a previously opened SSL session for a new connection

#ssl_version

Which specific SSL version to use

#verify_callback

For server certificate verification

#verify_mode

How connections should be verified

Proxies

A proxy can be set through #proxy= or at initialization time by providing a second argument to ::new. The proxy may be the URI of the proxy server or :ENV which will consult environment variables.

See #proxy= and #proxy_from_env for details.

Headers

Headers may be specified for use in every request. #headers are appended to any headers on the request. #override_headers replace existing headers on the request.

The difference between the two can be seen in setting the User-Agent. Using http.headers['User-Agent'] = 'MyUserAgent' will send “Ruby, MyUserAgent” while http.override_headers['User-Agent'] = 'MyUserAgent' will send “MyUserAgent”.

Tuning

Segregation

By providing an application name to ::new you can separate your connections from the connections of other applications.

Idle Timeout

If a connection hasn’t been used for this number of seconds it will automatically be reset upon the next use to avoid attempting to send to a closed connection. The default value is 5 seconds. nil means no timeout. Set through #idle_timeout.

Reducing this value may help avoid the “too many connection resets” error when sending non-idempotent requests while increasing this value will cause fewer round-trips.

Read Timeout

The amount of time allowed between reading two chunks from the socket. Set through #read_timeout

Open Timeout

The amount of time to wait for a connection to be opened. Set through #open_timeout.

Socket Options

Socket options may be set on newly-created connections. See #socket_options for details.

Non-Idempotent Requests

By default non-idempotent requests will not be retried per RFC 2616. By setting retry_change_requests to true requests will automatically be retried once.

Only do this when you know that retrying a POST or other non-idempotent request is safe for your application and will not create duplicate resources.

The recommended way to handle non-idempotent requests is the following:

require 'net/http/persistent'

uri = URI 'http://example.com/awesome/web/service'
post_uri = uri + 'create'

http = Net::HTTP::Persistent.new 'my_app_name'

post = Net::HTTP::Post.new post_uri.path
# ... fill in POST request

begin
  response = http.request post_uri, post
rescue Net::HTTP::Persistent::Error

  # POST failed, make a new request to verify the server did not process
  # the request
  exists_uri = uri + '...'
  response = http.get exists_uri

  # Retry if it failed
  retry if response.code == '404'
end

The method of determining if the resource was created or not is unique to the particular service you are using. Of course, you will want to add protection from infinite looping.

Connection Termination

If you are done using the Net::HTTP::Persistent instance you may shut down all the connections in the current thread with #shutdown. This is not recommended for normal use, it should only be used when it will be several minutes before you make another HTTP request.

If you are using multiple threads, call #shutdown in each thread when the thread is done making requests. If you don’t call shutdown, that’s OK. Ruby will automatically garbage collect and shutdown your HTTP connections when the thread terminates.

Constructor Details

#initialize(name = nil, proxy = nil) ⇒ Persistent

Creates a new Net::HTTP::Persistent.

Set name to keep your connections apart from everybody else’s. Not required currently, but highly recommended. Your library name should be good enough. This parameter will be required in a future version.

proxy may be set to a URI::HTTP or :ENV to pick up proxy options from the environment. See proxy_from_env for details.

In order to use a URI for the proxy you may need to do some extra work beyond URI parsing if the proxy requires a password:

proxy = URI 'http://proxy.example'
proxy.user     = 'AzureDiamond'
proxy.password = 'hunter2'

#proxy=(proxy) ⇒ Object

Sets the proxy server. The proxy may be the URI of the proxy server, the symbol :ENV which will read the proxy from the environment or nil to disable use of a proxy. See #proxy_from_env for details on setting the proxy from the environment.

If the proxy URI is set after requests have been made, the next request will shut-down and re-open all connections.

If you are making some requests through a proxy and others without a proxy use separate Net::Http::Persistent instances.

#proxy_from_envObject

Creates a URI for an HTTP proxy server from ENV variables.

If HTTP_PROXY is set a proxy will be returned.

If HTTP_PROXY_USER or HTTP_PROXY_PASS are set the URI is given the indicated user and password unless HTTP_PROXY contains either of these in the URI.

For Windows users, lowercase ENV variables are preferred over uppercase ENV variables.

#request(uri, req = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Makes a request on uri. If req is nil a Net::HTTP::Get is performed against uri.

If a block is passed #request behaves like Net::HTTP#request (the body of the response will not have been read).

req must be a Net::HTTPRequest subclass (see Net::HTTP for a list).

If there is an error and the request is idempontent according to RFC 2616 it will be retried automatically.

#shutdown(thread = Thread.current) ⇒ Object

Shuts down all connections for thread.

Uses the current thread by default.

If you’ve used Net::HTTP::Persistent across multiple threads you should call this in each thread when you’re done making HTTP requests.

NOTE: Calling shutdown for another thread can be dangerous!

If the thread is still using the connection it may cause an error! It is best to call #shutdown in the thread at the appropriate time instead!

Shuts down all connections in all threads

NOTE: THIS METHOD IS VERY DANGEROUS!

Use this method only as a last resort!

The SSL HTTP connection to:

#{connection.address}:#{connection.port}

                         !!!MAY NOT BE VERIFIED!!!

On your platform your OpenSSL implementation is broken.

There is no difference between the values of VERIFY_NONE and VERIFY_PEER.

This means that attempting to verify the security of SSL connections may not
work.  This exposes you to man-in-the-middle exploits, snooping on the
contents of your connection and other dangers to the security of your data.

To disable this warning define the following constant at top-level in your
application:

I_KNOW_THAT_OPENSSL_VERIFY_PEER_EQUALS_VERIFY_NONE_IS_WRONG = nil

    WARNING
