Erlang Apple Push notification (or improved in Ruby?)

Question

I currently have an Apple Push Notification running on my server in Ruby. I would like me to go to Erlang because I would like to use a supervisor to keep track of him. Does anyone have a code with which they could help?

Here is my Ruby code. One thing I don’t like about this current implementation is that it doesn’t seem to be in touch - it disconnects 2-3 times a day, and it seems that after I reconnect, the first pressing will not work:

context = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new context.cert = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(File.read(cert)) context.key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(File.read(cert)) def connect_sockets(server, context) sock = TCPSocket.new(server, 2195) ssl = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new(sock,context) ssl.connect return sock, ssl end sock, ssl = connect_sockets(server, context) # this is called to initially connect and also reconnect whenever disconnected. 

If Erlang Push is not feasible, I would not mind sticking to my Ruby as long as I can keep my contacts alive and possibly control it through Erlang. Does anyone know if this is possible?

This Apple Push Notifications question with Erlang may also be helpful for this.

The HTTP client (with SSL support) that comes with Erlang works quite well (I can't say I tested the battle). Relevant documentation is available here .

1) Remember to execute "inets: start ()" in your application before trying to make HTTP calls.

2) In my (small) experience, starting the "inets" module seems a bit complicated: do not try to run it in your dispatcher module, otherwise your servers will not work. I usually do "inets: start ()" in the first server module of my application before other servers that require HTTP are available.

3) To perform the push operation, I think you will need to use the stream option.
