I have been developing some interactive SVG running under WEBrick. Works fine until the site goes under SSL. At that point my Javascript code fails to return a document using either contentDocument, or getSVGDocument(). I don''t really understand the fix, but following a hint from a list back in 2007, everything works again when i put the following line in httputils.rb. On my installation that is at /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/httputils.rb "svg" => "image/svg+xml", added into the object DefaultMimeTypes. Here is the header to httputils.rb # # httputils.rb -- HTTPUtils Module # # Author: IPR -- Internet Programming with Ruby -- writers # Copyright (c) 2000, 2001 TAKAHASHI Masayoshi, GOTOU Yuuzou # Copyright (c) 2002 Internet Programming with Ruby writers.
