Hi Rob, Nice! Thanks for releasing this. I’m not sure when I’ll use this but I can pretty much guarantee that I will give it a go sooner or later. I’ve written a few of these in the past, it’s good to see someone make a library out of it.
BTW, things like AngularJS and EmberJS should/could know about 503 errors and what they mean. There’s actually a project, that I’ve *not* used (yet), https://github.com/kkolstad/angular-servicestack that will re-try on a 503 after a random delay. Here’s the line from their source code (it’s coffeescript): sleepTime = Math.min (Math.random() * (Math.pow(4, response.collisionCount() - 1) * 100)), serviceStackRestConfig.maxDelayBetweenRetries Cheers, Bob On Nov 16, 2013, at 1:21 PM, Rob Day <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I've just published the first working version of a Ring middleware that some > of you might find useful.
