A little shorter using xmlrpc library. Gonna try to make the ping a separate method to use with other pinging services.
require 'xmlrpc/client'
module Ping
def technorati(site={})
begin
server = XMLRPC::Client.new("rpc.technorati.com","/rpc/ping",80)
begin
result = server.call("weblogUpdates.ping","#{site[:title]}","#{site[:url]}")
rescue XMLRPC::FaultException => e
puts "Error: [#{ e.faultCode }] #{ e.faultString }"
end
rescue Exception => e
puts "Error: #{ e.message }"
end
end
end
This code is made to be in an after_create or after_update call for a post. It pings technorati so your listing is current.
