Does anyone know if there's a maximum number of open connections allowed when using hpricot/net::http?
I have a bunch of xml feeds I need to read via hpricot and write to disk. Whenever I hit it too hard/fast, or when I try to open several files in hpricot in a loop, my app dies. If I do something like... arr = [url1, url2, url2] arr.each do|d| doc = Hpricot(open(d)) doc.search(blah...) File.open("#{RAILS_ROOT}/xml/#{file_name}.xml", 'w') {|f| f.write doc } end I get: OpenURI::HTTPError: 500 Internal Server Error from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:277:in `open_http' from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:616:in `buffer_open' from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:164:in `open_loop' from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:162:in `catch' from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:162:in `open_loop' from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:132:in `open_uri' from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:518:in `open' from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:30:in `open' from (irb):11 from (irb):11:in `each' from (irb):11 Am I missing something here, or is there a better way of doing this? I'm on Ruby 1.8.7 and hpricot 0.8.2 Thanks Robbie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
