Sikwamic: Simple Key-Value With Comet

Send to friend

GET: http://github.com/dorkalev/Sikwamic

What is it good for?
You can use REDIS straight from HTTP along with long polling on GETs, commet style. This is very useful for development of web-realtime apps like web-chat.
How to run?
make sure you have Rack and Redis installed and run:
ruby sikwamic.rb
How to use?
1. Write a value through:
http://localhost:9291/set/KEY/VALUE (http://localhost:9291/set/user_55_name/john)
output: john
2. Read a value through:
http://localhost:9291/get/KEY (http://localhost:9291/get/user_55_name)
output: john
3. Cometly read a value through: *
http://localhost:9291/get/KEY/OLDVALUE
This action opens a connection to the server and returns the value of the KEY only once the VALUE is different than inputed
if "user_55_name" value is "john"
then...
http://localhost:9291/get_if_modified/user_55_name/john
output: john
response: 5 seconds
and...
http://localhost:9291/get_if_modified/user_55_name/jeff
output: john
response: immediate
You can use Sikwamic inside infrastructure of realtime webchat and for SIMPLE online key-value over HTTP activities (over AJAX)
Enjoy ;-)
