HTTP functionality like Parse's save_eventually ?

[Benjamin Wheeler]

Hi, I'm a new user of RubyMotion and BubbleWrap.

 

In my ios work, I often have data the user has provided that I need to post/upload to a central server/repository. This needs to happen whether the user has internet connectivity or not. 

I've seen some incredibly complex queuing systems hacked together, but I don't really understand how they work.

Parse provides an amazing function, saveEventually(), which stores a request locally until it can post the update. behind the scenes, i assume it's doing things like periodically pinging the server to check for connectivity, maintaining a queue of updates, clearing out successfully completed ones.

Is there anything with similar functionality in the RubyMotion world? Any interest in expanding BubbleWrap's HTTP wrapper to handle something like this?

Thanks! Love BubbleWrap, and Francis's app EverClip!
