Hello all.
I am looking for an HTTP client that can do multiple requests in
parallel.
There is the typhoeus gem but I am running on windows and I would rather
skip the hassle that windows entails with this gem.
Does anyone have any typhoeus alternatives that they have used on JRuby?
(I seem to remember there was a Java library that someone suggested
using instead but I cannot remember the name. )
Worst case I simple do the threading part myself and use basic Net::HTTP
but a nicer solution would be…well, nicer 
Cheers
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
I have previously wrapped the xlightweb java library.
http://xlightweb.org/
The github repo for the wrapper is
It has a multi-threaded asynchronous option
I used it in the past to test true concurrent requests to the Mongrel 2
stack.
It may be of use

Hello,
Maybe Apache JMeter, http://jmeter.apache.org/ ?
JMeter can send multiple HTTP requests in parallel.

Hello G.,

Thank you for the suggestions Martin and Yoko-san
It is in fact Grizzly that I heard before, I thought I had done a search
on that and come up blank but obviously not.
I shall check it out.

When you need CRuby compatibility: gem install httpclient.
It runs faster than CRuby and also works effective under threaded
context.
Not sure you can run Java client wrappers faster from JRuby.

Hi Jeffrey,
I think one of the http libraries which have been mentioned some time
ago
was http://grizzly.java.net/ .
Hope this helps,
Martin
