== DESCRIPTION: Need makes ruby relative requires just work. Simply need a file with a relative path and the file will always be required correctly, regardless of what file your application is being launched through. Typically, ruby projects would unshift lib onto $PATH or use the File.dirname(__FILE__) trick. Using need means you don't have to worry about either of these. Assume you have two files, one directly in lib and the other in lib/extensions. Let's assume that file_a in lib requires file_b, in lib/extensions. Previously, you would doing some crazy load path unshifting or use the __FILE__ trick to make these requires flexible enough to work when your app is being accessed by rake, through a test suite, or required as a gem. Now, just use need. In file_a: need{"extensions/file_b"} need "extensions/file_b"

Manages persistent connections using Net::HTTP plus a speed fix for Ruby 1.8. It's thread-safe too! Using persistent HTTP connections can dramatically increase the speed of HTTP. Creating a new HTTP connection for every request involves an extra TCP round-trip and causes TCP congestion avoidance negotiation to start over. Net::HTTP supports persistent connections with some API methods but does not handle reconnection gracefully. Net::HTTP::Persistent supports reconnection and retry according to RFC 2616.

Net::LDAP for Ruby (also called net-ldap) implements client access for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), an IETF standard protocol for accessing distributed directory services. Net::LDAP is written completely in Ruby with no external dependencies. It supports most LDAP client features and a subset of server features as well. Net::LDAP has been tested against modern popular LDAP servers including OpenLDAP and Active Directory. The current release is mostly compliant with earlier versions of the IETF LDAP RFCs (2251–2256, 2829–2830, 3377, and 3771). Our roadmap for Net::LDAP 1.0 is to gain full <em>client</em> compliance with the most recent LDAP RFCs (4510–4519, plutions of 4520–4532).

NEVER SAY DIE lets you rescue from segmentation faults. Got a SEGV, don't worry about it anymore! Just rescue an exception and get on with life. Who cares about getting a SEGV anyway? It's just memory. I mean, when I was in school, I didn't need 100% to pass the class. Why should your memory need to be 100% correct to get the job done? A little memory corruption here and there doesn't hurt anyone. So go for it! Kick back, grab a beer, require the NEVER SAY DIE gem and let your problems go away sometimes!
