Mongrel users - Feb 2007 - mongrel_in_a_tunnel

Hi list:

I started to make a quick GemPlugin command [ssl::start] that sets up  
an stunnel before calling the normal [start] command.

so

$ mongrel_rails ssl:start

will do everything that start normally does and configure/setup an  
stunnel.


The question...

Obviously this plugin will require stunnel to be installed. What do  
you think is the best move:

1) nothing, just require that people install stunnel themselves.
2) make the gem attempt to compile stunnel for them.
3) lock myself in a box and make ruby-stunnel bindings/extension.




Thanks.

Hey Chris, this is kind of nice since some folks want an ultra small
setup.

Have you looked at just using the openssl support in Ruby?  Would be
nice if I could continue being lazy and just let you solve that :-)

I did skim over the OpenSSL library ... I''ve got fruit with more  
documentation than the OpenSSL stdlib... but that said it does  
interest me, and it would be a better solution long term to have a  
nice SSL plugin for the little scamp.


if anyone''s on OSX and want''s the "mongrel_rails
ssl::start " command
for stunnel
