Kudos on Flight of the Conchords :)
Does anyone know if patron supports ssl? It doesn’t appear to have any flags and using it with a regular ssl website for posting returns an error.
Jim: I’m a big fan too, glad you got the reference
Eric: I’m not sure, I haven’t used it. Perhaps you should email the author?
What happened to Episode 085?
I am the author of Patron. It doesn’t currently support SSL; it wasn’t something we needed when I wrote it. Now that it is open source I am very interested in feedback from the community about what features it needs. SSL has been added to the list.
Feel free to report issues at http://github.com/toland/patron/issues/.

@Kevin, 8+5 = 13, so maybe they skipped it because they thought it would be unlucky? ;^)
Thanks for mentioning http://RubyTu.be from our buddy Matt Williams.
Oh, and Flight of the Conchords FTW! :)
Kevin: Jason was in charge of getting out episode 85 last Wednesday. honestly haven’t heard from him about it. Sorry.
@Carl, Good point! I hadn’t considered that these two would be so superstitious. :-)
@Gregg: Cool there really is supposed to be an Episode 085 then. Seriously you and Jason do an amazing job with this podcast. I love how you two and your guest speakers are able to keep the content relevant yet not boring. I also like how the podcast is usually about 10 to 20 minutes. That is just enough time that I can listen to it with out being int interrupted … usually. I strongly believe its because of work like this, RailsCasts, the Rails Guides, etc that the Rails community so awesome. As I’ve had to learn other languages/frameworks lately I often see how they have attempted to mimic the Rails community and maybe there are a few podcast or screencasts, but nothing that compares to what the Rails Community has.
I second everything Kevin said (especially the good point part!).
Seriously, Gregg and Jason, you guys do a wonderful job helping me keep with with all the plugins, changing trends, up and coming changes that I don’t know if I would have kept up with Rails if you guys and Ryan Bates hadn’t been there.
Thanks for the kind words guys, it’s very appreciated.
Thanks for mentioning the Sitemap Generator Plugin as well, Gregg. I was really dissatisfied with any of the other sitemap plugins. Glad you thought it was worth mentioning.
