I have a process that waits for json messages on a port using event machine and then publishes them to faye so that javascript faye clients can subscribe and get updates.
A driver engine runs on the server and creates the json which it writes to the port and then this process reads it and sends it on. A faye server gets those messages for publishing.
Through looking at many examples, this is the solution I have arrived at thus far. The problem is that something gets hung up someplace so that the javascript clients no longer get the subscriptions. When that happens this process shows that it is getting the messages and sending them to faye, but the javascript clients still don't get them. If I just restart this process, it works fine for awhile until it gets hung up again. I don't have to restart the faye server, the rails server, nor refresh the page. I just restart this process and that fixes it.
Is it likely that it's because I am running this on windows ? What else can I try ? Thanks
