code to ping websites works sometimes ...
- by trustfundbaby
I'm testing out a piece of code to ping a bunch of websites I own on a regular basis, to make sure they're up.
I'm using rails and so far I have this hideous test action that I'm using to try it out (see below).
The problem though, is that sometimes it works, and other times it won't ... sometimes it runs through the code just fine, other times, it seems to completely ignore the begin/rescue block ...
a. I need help figuring out what the problem is
b. And refactoring this to make it look respectable.
Your help is much appreciated.
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
def ping
@sites = NewsSource.all
@sites.each do |site|
if site.uri and !site.uri.empty?
uri = URI.parse(site.uri)
response = nil
path = uri.path.blank? ? '/' : uri.path
path = uri.query.blank? ? path : "#{path}?#{uri.query}"
begin
Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port) {|http|
http.open_timeout = 30
http.read_timeout = 30
response = http.head(path)
}
if response.code.eql?('200') or response.code.eql?('301') or response.code.eql?('302')
site.up = true
else
site.up = false
end
site.up_check_msg = response.message
site.up_check_code = response.code
rescue Errno::EBADF
rescue Timeout::Error
site.up = false
site.up_check_msg = 'timeout'
site.up_check_code = '408'
end
site.up_check_time = 0.seconds.ago
site.save
end
end
end
