Server queue.amazonaws.com closed connection #108

Closed sidbatra closed 12 years ago

sidbatra commented 12 years ago

Creating an Aws::Sqs object with the :connection_mode => :single is supposed to open a persistent connection to queue.amazonaws.com.

However, after a period of inactivity ( ~2 minutes) when a new message is pushed onto the queue the following message is seen:

Rightscale::HttpConnection : server queue.amazonaws.com closed connection
Opening new HTTPS connection to queue.amazonaws.com:443

This slows down pushing that message by ~500ms. Is there any way to fix this?

thanks!

Don't leave your connection idle. I believe SQS closes connections after 60 seconds.

sidbatra commented 12 years ago

thanks for replying.

I'm using it in my Rails observers and any delay > 100ms is costly. Sending a message onto the queue at regular intervals is a bit hacky.

Any scope of an inbuilt feature that polls queue.amazonaws.com every 60 secs?

Not something planned, but feel free to add something and send me a pull request.

Hi @sidbatra , did you figure out a solution for this?

sidbatra commented 12 years ago

Hey @treeder, I gave up after a bit of trying. The problem only happens at a low write frequency so I'm ok with it for now. I narrowed it down to manual sleep commands in right_http_connection.rb

I'll reply if I have any more luck.
