Clean example of using websocket-rack with Sinatra. The websocket endpoint is mounted via a route (see config.ru). This allows for the web socket app and sinatra app to run on the same port. The example includes detection for for the websocket link going down with automatic reconnection. To see it in action stop/start thin and see what the client does in the browser. I also made a quick screencast: http://youtu.be/XVtEyilJD8M

ruby, rack, thin, sinatra, websocket-rack, haml

git clone https://github.com/AustenConrad/sinatra-websocket-rack-example.git
cd sinatra-websocket-rack-example
thin start -e production

(NOTE: If you are not running it on localhost or change the port number or mount point in config.ru then make certain to change the settings at the top of the 'public/scripts/websockets/index.js' file to match.)

thin start -C config/thin.yml

thin restart -C config/thin.yml

thin stop -C config/thin.yml
