Redis::Connection::Universal

This is an experiment in creating a Redis connection that is capable of using multiple transports to connect to multiple Redis servers. It will determine the transport type based on the URL schema.

The connection driver is currently capable of connecting to both standard redis instances (redis://) as well as ssl secured ones (redis+ssl://).

This gem currently relies on a forked version of the redis gem (https://github.com/gorsuch/redis-rb/tree/expand-connection-context), which currently has a pull request open against the upstream tree (redis/redis-rb#191).

Installation

Add these lines to your application's Gemfile:

gem "redis", :git => "git://github.com/gorsuch/redis-rb", :ref => "9c8ee97d8b6e8f1c7fc42df63d93e4476e34a462"
gem 'redis-connection-universal'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

Taking advantage of this driver is very simple - just require it.

require 'redis'
require 'redis-connection-universal'

r = Redis.new url: "redis+ssl://myhost:6380"
r.info
