Simple Key-Value With Comet
Sikwamic: Simple Key-Value With Comet (http://github.com/dorkalev/Sikwamic)
What is it good for?
You can use REDIS straight from HTTP along with long polling on GETs, commet style. This is very useful for development of web-realtime apps like web-chat. READ: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)
- Uses RACK - http://github.com/chneukirchen/rack
- Uses REDIS - http://github.com/antirez/redis
How to run?
make sure you have Rack and Redis installed and run:
ruby sikwamic.rb
How to use?
-
Write a value through: http://localhost:9291/set/KEY/VALUE (http://localhost:9291/set/user_55_name/john) output: john
-
Read a value through: http://localhost:9291/get/KEY (http://localhost:9291/get/user_55_name) output: john
-
Cometly read a value through: * http://localhost:9291/get/KEY/OLDVALUE This action opens a connection to the server and returns the value of the KEY only once the VALUE is different than inputed
if "user_55_name" value is "john"
then... http://localhost:9291/get_if_modified/user_55_name/john) output: john response: 5 seconds
and... http://localhost:9291/get_if_modified/user_55_name/jeff output: john response: immediate
You can use Sikwamic inside infrastructure of realtime webchat and for SIMPLE online key-value over HTTP activities (over AJAX)
Enjoy ;-)
