Mongrel users - Jun 2007 - Q on cgi_multipart_eol_fix preqequisite for Mongrel on Win2K

Hi list,

I downloaded and tried to install Mongrel (latest stable version) from the
-win32 gem. Platform is Win2K.
It said it needed daemons so got and installed that. Then it said it needed
cgi_multipart_eol_fix (I think that was the name, not at my machine now, can
confirm later and repost if needed). Googled for that but couldn''t find
it.
(Don''t have net connectivitity for a while - problems with brain-dead
ISPs
where I live - so can''t do remote gem installs with
--include-dependencies-
have to download the gem and its prerequisites manually and install them).
Any ideas?

Thanks

P.S.
3 points more:

1. Actually it is _eof_fix, sorry.
2. When I Googled earlier I *did* get some hits, but they all seemed to be
for Gentoo packages referring to the fix. So didnt''t try to check them
out
since I''m on Windows.
3. Googled again just now and saw this post:
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2007-February/002895.html
but not sure if I can use the info it it as I''m not on the Net on my
PC.

Wait a second:

if It asked about daemons, is not win32 gem... is the ruby version.

cgi_multipart_eol_fix is available via rubygems too, are you doing a
manual install?

If so, then I will suggest use --ignore-dependencies in ''gem
install'':

gem install "gem-name.gem" --ignore-dependencies

Sorry, wrote the text before read the whole mail :-P

mongrel-1.0.1-win32.gem
cgi_multipart_eol_fix-0.2.1.gem (guess thats the version).
mongrel_service-0.3.2-win32.gem (if you plan run mongrel as service).
win32-service-0.5.2-win32.gem (if you need mongrel_service).

Guess thats everything.

cgi_multipart_eof_fix is here: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=2835
if you need to download it manually.

I''ve been maintaining it rather than the Mongrel team since after
version 1.0.

You want access to the Mongrel project so you can maintain it?  Just gotta ask.

Na I just kind of put it up there, as a regular installable gem, since
you hadn''t.... didn''t think you were shutting me out or
anything. But
thanks.

Thanks man.  I don''t remember you ever telling me you were doing this
but, whatever.  I''m sure you''ve got a reason for maintaining
it.

So, looking at the gem you''ve got the copyright wrong:

Copyright 2006, 2007 Cloudburst, LLC. Portions copyright 2006 Zed A. Shaw,
Yukihiro Matsumoto and used with permission. Licensed under the AFL 3.0. 

It wasn''t copyright me, it was actually written by Jeremy Kemper and/or
Jamis Buck.  I believe Jeremy wrote the fix and Jamis packaged it then fed it to
me on the down-low so I could roll it out.

Also, double check the original gem because I believe it''s actually MIT
or Ruby licensed, not AFL.

Utimately though, this has got to go.  I''m gonna ask around to see if
this can be dropped and then I''ll do a new release of Mongrel making it
not required.  This really shouldn''t be my or your problem at all. 
Ruby guys should do proper security fixes in a timely manner so that all Ruby
users do an upgrade instead of leaving it to us to put in weird back patching
crap.

Yeah; I''ve been waiting for you to drop it since 1.8.6 was released.
I''ll update the copyright.

Not everyone has 1.8.6 and if that''s the case then why are you actually
maintaining this and making releases?  If there''s new security holes
you have fixed in this then are they also fixed in the 1.8.6 release?

Yes, the second hole is fixed in 1.8.6 but not previous.
