OpenSSL / Persistent connection

[Fabien Penso]

Hi.

I want to have a persistent OpenSSL over a TCPSocket connection. The
idea is having a rails website, a backgroundrb daemon. I do keep the
connections within Model.something and I reuse them when needed.

Sadly the OpenSSL socket does not generate any timeout, etc, when the
server side disconnected (I don't know if it did but it doesn't work
anymore so I guess it did).

OpenSSL documentation is non existent, does anyone has a hint how to
do that ? As of today, this is how I connect :

ctx = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new
ctx.key = OpenSSL:Key::RSA.new(cert, self.passphrase)
ctx.cert = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(cert)
ctx.timeout = 7200

s = TCPSocket.new(host, PORT)
ssl = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new(s, ctx)
ssl.sync = true
ssl.sync_close = true
ssl.connect

Then when I use it I have (conn has the persistent connection) :

(0..10).each do
begin
conn[:ssl].write("something")
conn[:ssl].flush
conn[:socket].flush

break
rescue OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError => e
self.reconnecting
rescue Errno::EPIPE => e
self.reconnecting
rescue Errno::ENETDOWN => e
self.reconnecting
end
end

Does that look good enough ? I get no error when the server is not
available anymore, sadly.

try ?
begin
s = TCPSocket.new(host, PORT)
ssl = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new(s, ctx)
ssl.sync = true
ssl.sync_close = true
ssl.connect
rescue
...
end
