Muxer

Muxer is a gem to allow web requests to run in parallel with seperate timeouts per request, in addition to an optional global timeout for all of the requests.

For example:

• Request 1 (Internal API) - 5 second timeout
• Request 2 (External) - 1 second timeout
• Request 3 (External) - 1 second timeout
• Request 4 (External) - 1 second timeout

Requests 2-4 will be allowed to continue waiting after their timeouts if we are still waiting on Request 1; however, if Request 1 comes back in half a second, we will finish ALL requests at the 1 second timeout. Any requests not finished within the timeouts will be added to the :failed array in the response.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'muxer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install muxer

Usage

response = Muxer.execute do |muxer|
  muxer.add_url "http://www.rubydoc.info"
  muxer.add_url "https://www.google.com"
end

response[:failed] == []
response[:succeeded] == [
  Muxer::Request(url: "http://www.rubydoc.info"),
  Muxer::Request(url: "https://www.google.com")
]
