Ping Code Overview
(This is old information, cobbled from the old sandbox pages. I’m backdating the post so it goes to the end).
PubSub’s ping code is designed to implement a high-performance, robust and stable XML-RPC ping system in the manner of blo.gs or weblogs.com.
At the moment, there’s an apache 1.3 module that can handle inbound pings; a second process that does something useful with the pings as they arrive; a ping server that pushes pings back out to interested clients; and an application that connects to the ping server and generates changes.xml-style files.
The apache module itself is placed under the Apache license; see the source file for more information. The sample file for reading from messages queues can be used for any purpose; it’s really just for illustration. The rest of the code falls under various open-source licenses, have a look at the source files for more information.
The source code for the projects on this page (look to the right) contains install and configuration information. If you try them out, please send feedback to feedback@pubsub.com, or just post comments on this message.
