This gem allows to use different HTTP implementation in RestClient with next adapters:
:net_http
- Net::HTTP (default, blocking I/O):em_http
- EventMachine::HttpRequest (non-blocking I/0)
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'rest-client-adapters'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install rest-client-adapters
Usage
You may specify adapter for each request:
RestClient.get('https://www.google.com')
RestClient.get('https://www.google.com', adapter: :em_http)
Or you may specify adapter globaly:
RestClient.adapter = :em_http
RestClient.get('https://www.google.com')
Notes
When EventMachine is already running we assume that you are responsible for Fiber allocation.
You can add Rack::FiberPool
to your application middleware and it automatically provides a Fiber for each incoming HTTP request. It creates pool of Fibers and re-use fiber for each incoming HTTP request. Also you can control the connection pool size.
