Your Mongrel is blocking as long as Rails is generating the request -- not as long as it's transferring the request over the write. That's actually multi-threaded.
While there might be a Mongrel handler for doing gzip or deflate compression (I'm not sure), in this case you could also look into Ruby's Zlib to gzip your sitemap as sitemap.xml.gz. That's supported by the Sitemap standard. -- Roderick van Domburg http://www.railscluster.nl -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
