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

Is there an agreed upon method for handling exceptions thrown by something outside of Merb? For example, DataMapper now throws a DataMapper::ObjectNotFoundError when a record isn''t found in the db. I''d like to catch these exceptions and raise a C:E:NotFound exception instead, but without having to wrap a lot of code in begin/rescue/end blocks. Thanks, Mike Irwin

Hi people, just thought I''d mumble out my thoughts on merb''s apps directory structure and config concepts and see what other people are feeling... the app dir: mvc/application is layed out as expected....maybe without the mailer by default (another discussion) the config dir: I really think that it''s confusing to have such a mixture of ways to configure some

I remember having this discussion on IRC before, so Ezra if you could remind me that would be appreciated: Why do we check for the existence of the controller file in (what is now) Request#controller_class? The reason I ask is that I would like to implement some sort of "Rails engine" like features for gem plugins--in other words, drop in a gem that has controllers/views etc.

I had redirects working just the other day... before I upgraded to the latest release. Can somebody please chime in as to why this simple redirect is throwing an error? Controller: ----------------------- def do redirect "http://www.ebay.com" end Error Output: ------------------------- Internal server error 500 uninitialized constant Merb::ControllerMixin::MovedTemporarily in

Following up on #190 [1], I''ve just added a simple patch that allows the manipulation of the TYPES hash from within the Merb module. Use like: Merb.add_mime_type(:png,%w[image/png]) Merb.remove_mime_type(:png) It specifically disallows the removal of the :all MimeType, since content negotiation relies on it. I''m not super wonderful at API design, so comments and

Hi, everyone. I am in the process of learning Ruby. I''ve concluded that there are couple of quirks with mod_ruby that are limiting me a fair bit, so I''m looking for an alternative. From what I''ve read, Mongrel is The Answer. However, this has left me with a few questions. I''m looking for some help getting a non-rails Mongrel started... I can''t

Ez (or someone) asked on #merb tonight whether respond_to was the right API for what it does. After some discussion and pasties, I offer the following proposed API for content negotiation and response format selection: First, what does respond_to do right now? I see at as performing 3 distinct operations: 1. parse params[:format] and the accepts header to find out what format the

This is actually REALLY obvious, but I just thought i''d post it up here since it took a few brain clicks to dawn on me. Evented mongrels don''t play nice with upload-progress systems. (although with the new nginx patch and a couple of mongrels it wouldn''t be so bad.) </public-service-announcement>

the constants update (http://pastie.caboo.se/137630) is cleaner... but... am I right in thinking that rake tasks are now a bit buggered? Looks like a search/replace was performed, but its now impossible to set an environment for rake tasks? chrisfarms -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hey people.. I often hit name clashes when using partials, take the following example... <%= partial :clip, :url => ''http://www.jeff.com'' %> I will not be able to access my url variable, because the local variable will not override the #url method. This is contradictory to how most "local" variables work. Can I fix this, or is this behavior for some other
