Manages persistent connections using Net::HTTP plus a speed fix for 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
|
||
|
|
according to RFC 2616.
