Ruby1.9 and Amazon SQS?

Question

Is there a good library/gem for accessing Amazon SQS from ruby1.9? The Amazon ruby example and right_aws do not work as-is with ruby1.9.

I'd strongly prefer something that's known to work under reasonably heavy load (a few hundred thousand queue items or more per day).

Answer 1

The comments on isitruby19.com point to a patch and a fork of the right_aws gem which provide Ruby 1.9 support.

Answer 2

Try the Appoxy AWS library, it was forked from right_aws a while back just for Ruby 1.9 and has come along way since then supporting a lot more than right_aws now.
