[Mongrel-development] Small updates and release plan

Yes - it means using nginx as a proxy to mongrel will actually work !

The current behavior ''stuns'' nginx every time mongrel decides
it
doesn''t like the request as passed (which is fair, nginx isn''t
as
strict in its request parsing as mongrel) causing it to try every
mongrel in the balancer group in quick succession. The patch makes
mongrel behave correctly according to the spec and report the correct
error rather than relying on nginx to pass back a 50x when there are
no mongrel left.

Cheers

Dave
