webget gem - a web (go get) crawler incl. web cache

This is a placeholder gem for the WebKit Formatter for RSpec. The gem was renamed to 'rspec-formatter-webkit' to better follow standard gem-naming conventions. The new gem is a dependency of this one, so installing this should install the latest version for you, but you'll need to use the new name in the future. You should do a 'gem cleanup webkit-rspec-formatter' to remove any previously-installed versions if you have them.

Measures the time it takes a given web page to both return the first byte and to render in a given browser.

webservice - yet another HTTP JSON API (web service) builder

== DESCRIPTION: websitary (formerly known as websitiary with an extra "i") monitors webpages, rss feeds, podcasts etc. It reuses other programs (w3m, diff etc.) to do most of the actual work. By default, it works on an ASCII basis, i.e. with the output of text-based webbrowsers like w3m (or lynx, links etc.) as the output can easily be post-processed. It can also work with HTML and highlight new items. This script was originally planned as a ruby-based websec replacement. By default, this script will use w3m to dump HTML pages and then run diff over the current page and the previous backup. Some pages are better viewed with lynx or links. Downloaded documents (HTML or ASCII) can be post-processed (e.g., filtered through some ruby block that extracts elements via hpricot and the like). Please see the configuration options below to find out how to change this globally or for a single source. This user manual is also available as PDF[http://websitiary.rubyforge.org/websitary.pdf]. == FEATURES/PROBLEMS: * Handle webpages, rss feeds (optionally save attachments in podcasts etc.) * Compare webpages with previous backups * Display differences between the current version and the backup * Provide hooks to post-process the downloaded documents and the diff * Display a one-page report summarizing all news * Automatically open the report in your favourite web-browser * Experimental: Download webpages on defined intervalls and generate incremental diffs.

== DESCRIPTION: This is a script for monitoring webpages that reuses other programs (w3m, diff, webdiff etc.) to do most of the actual work. By default, it works on an ASCII basis, i.e. with the output of text-based webbrowsers like w3m (or lynx, links etc.) as the output can easily be post-processed. With the help of some friends (see the section below on requirements), it can also work with HTML. E.g., if you have websec installed, you can also use its webdiff program to show colored diffs. By default, this script will use w3m to dump HTML pages and then run diff over the current page and the previous backup. Some pages are better viewed with lynx or links. Downloaded documents (HTML or ASCII) can be post-processed (e.g., filtered through some ruby block that extracts elements via hpricot and the like). Please see the configuration options below to find out how to change this globally or for a single source. === CAVEAT: The script also includes experimental support for monitoring whole websites. Basically, this script supports robots.txt directives (see requirements) but this is hardly tested and may not work in some cases. While it is okay for your own websites to ignore robots.txt, it is not for others. Please make sure that the webpages you run this program on allow such a use. Some webpages disallow the use of any automatic downloader or offline reader in their user agreements.

Puma is a simple, fast, threaded, and highly concurrent HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby/Rack applications. Puma is intended for use in both development and production environments. In order to get the best throughput, it is highly recommended that you use a Ruby implementation with real threads like Rubinius or JRuby.

whatson - what's on now command line tool (using the event.db machinery)

WhinyTasks is sort of like ExceptionMailer but specifically designed for rake tasks that run in the background. With any website, background jobs tend to accumulate and sometimes it's hard to tell if they're working properly. WhinyTasks defines the whiny_task method, which can be used in place of the task method and results in tasks that send emails to a designated address when an exception occurrs during the execution of the task.
