Rails - Jun 2006 - MongrelDay Documentation -- Memoirs Of A Web Server

Happy RailsDay!

While everyone else was out having fun with RailsDay I spent my time
wisely and wrote up tons of documentation for Mongrel and cleaned out
some of the docs I''ll never write anyway.  I also took the time to
apply
some nice patches from Jonas Pfenniger for easily setting up redirects
in Mongrel.

Some of the highlighted documents people will be interested in are:

* http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/ -- The main documentation listing.
* http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/adoption.html -- People who''ve adopted
Mongrel.  E-mail me if you want a mention.
* http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/not_mongrel.html -- Required reading for
greedy people.
* http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/litespeed.html -- Litespeed
documentation from Alison Rowland.
* http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/pen_balance.html -- Pen and Balance
documentation (might not work right).
* http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/security.html -- Short notes on web
application security and Mongrel.
* http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/distributed_worker.html --
Offloading work to a "Distributed Worker".  More to come on this
topic.

There''s lots more that were cleaned up, but if you find any errors feel
free to shoot me the corrections.

SUGGESTING AND WRITING

If you think there''s some documentation that needs to be written then
shoot me an e-mail and read:

http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/contrib.html

That tells you all the stuff you need to do to write a documentation
page.  I know one person who got a job from his documentation for
Mongrel, so it''s a money maker too!  I''m starting pyramid
schemes this
week!

MONGREL IS #2!

I''m not a competitive person, but *in your face One-Click*!  Mongrel
finally beat it out.  Now to just take down RubyGems.  I think it
shouldn''t count since everyone needs it.  What do you think?

BTW, if anyone wonders why I support win32, just ask yourself why the
Ruby One-Click installer is consistently in the top three projects on
RubyForge.  Yeah, windows doesn''t matter at all.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.  Apache docs and 0.3.13.1 up next!

Is it possible to add HTTPS handling to litespeed documentation,
similar to the one for pound (sending an additional header):

...
# pass along https hint
AddHeader "X-Forwarded-Proto: https"
HeadRemove "X-Forwarded-Proto"
...

It''s covered also in the apache+mod_load_balance docs, but i
couldn''t
find any info for litespeed.

Zedas-

	Once again you amaze. Thanks for all the hard work. Almost all of  
the code I write these days depends on mongrel so thanks for that.

Heh, there''s some funny shit in there!

    *  ?I love doing other people?s dirty work so that they can make 
millions off the sweat on my back.?
    * ?I am your whore, so sure I?ll get right to writing that 
Bittorrent client.?
    * ?I would love to be your corporate tool since I?m all about 
getting screwed.?
    * ?Wow that idea is so brilliant I think I?ll sign an NDA right away 
so you can take all my rights and all my work.?

And thanks for the docs!

Problem solved:
[ http://litespeedtech.com/community/forum/showthread.php?p=2240 ]

The new litespeed-2.1.17 version automatically adding
''X-Forwarded-Proto: https'' when proxing. Pretty nifty :) Go-Go
