Retryable FTP & HTTP URI reading with Typhoeus?

问题

Having discussed some failure handling in "Does Ruby's 'open_uri' reliably close sockets after read or on fail?", I wanted to dig into this a little deeper.

I'd like to attempt to pull data from an FTP server, then if that fails, attempt a pull from an http server. If these both fail, I'd like to cycle around and attempt a retry several times with a short pause in between the attempts (perhaps 1 second)

I read about the "retryable" method in "Retrying code blocks in Ruby (on exceptions, whatever)", however retryable-rb may be more robust.

Would appreciate seeing an example from an old hat at this scenario as I need a reliable mechanism in place for culling data from a couple of semi-unreliable sources I have. As noted in the other thread, it seems that Typhoeus could offer a robust component to this solution.

回答1:

Using one of those gems might be a good idea but it''s pretty straightforward without them:

data = nil
until data
# or 5.times do
    data = open(ftp_url){|f| f.read} rescue nil
    data ||= open(http_url){|f| f.read} rescue nil
    break if data
    sleep 1
end
