Trunk Issue: Because of the use of ''autoload'', template handlers other than Erubis are not loaded automatically (Haml, XMLBuilder). Either this should be fixed, or the documentation should be updated to instruct people how to use non-Erb template engines. Apparently the solution is to do something like this in merb_init.rb: ::Merb::AbstractController.register_engine

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

I like the cookie sessions that Rails edge has - they make sense, they''re fast, easy. For those that don''t know: the default session mechanism is to give developers a Hash called session. To store this object between requests it Marshals the session object and sends the object itself (now as a bitstream) back to clients to store in their cookie file. To prevent users from

hi, I rewrote escape, unescape, and query_parse in a C extension. http://s3.amazonaws.com/four.livejournal/20070922/http_helpers.tar.bz2 Here are some sample benchmarks (the benchmark script is included in the package) user system total real escape: Single long Mongrel: 1.680000 0.020000 1.700000 ( 1.837793) HttpHlp: 0.030000 0.010000 0.040000 ( 0.036590)

SqueezeBox is a simple file system based routing framework for erubis templates. It aims for a couple of niceties as well: Instead of putting your logic inside your template, like you would with PHP, SqueezeBox recognizes a separate logic file to be called before it loads the template. This allows you room to load ActiveRecord models or do calculations. These logic files return to the webserver

Hello Mongrel Users, I''m writing a web server called Ebb. It''s written in C, makes use of the Mongrel HTTP parser, and uses libev its event loop. The goal is to be small, fast, and language independent server that can host web frameworks. I have written a small Ruby binding which provides a Rack handler - this will allow Ebb to host Rails, Merb, and other Ruby frameworks. In the

hi all, I want to move some routing tasks out of the router and into the controller. The goal is to make Merb feel less like mod_rewrite and give the user more control at the controller. The new Router is simple: it takes the path_info (not the whole request) then outputs a controller class and some parameters from the path matching. The rest of the routing would be done at the controller level.

I have a magical proposal for the anti-magic web framework. Controller methods do not use arguments and yet expect arguments. This is handled through this params hash because we don''t know in advance what parameters a client could pass to Merb. But in almost every instance, it is too much to know all the query parameters - one doesn''t care if the user threw in an extraneous

Hi Zed, I checked in a pure-Ruby URI classifier to Mongrel trunk. Ola''s Java port of the TST had some bug, and I don''t think it''s necessary in the first place. The Ruby classifier is around 25 lines instead of the 400-odd lines for the C extension and the 200-odd for the Java extension. It uses a Regexp which is perhaps shady: @matcher = Regexp.new(routes.map do

It seems that Merb is sending static files with Mongrel::DirHandler. (mongrel_handler.rb:52) if get_or_head and @files.can_serve(path_info) # File exists as-is so serve it up MERB_LOGGER.info("Serving static file: #{path_info}") @files.process(request,response) I haven''t done benchmarks and I''ve hardly glanced at DirHandler''s code but the

Hey so, People are asking about Mongrel Ruby 1.9 compatibility. Isn''t the point of 1.9 for library developers to have time to get ready for 2.0? It''s not like 1.9 is a production release. Evan -- Evan Weaver Cloudburst, LLC

Since Merb has the lovely property of rendering the output of an action, using ruby-level exceptions to render error pages in Merb could be a cute way to approach error handling. Suppose one has an action for editing a product which you would like to restrict to administrators: def edit raise AdminAccessReqired unless session[:user] and session[:user].admin? @product =

I''m just playing with a recent Merb trunk (-r590). All the specs pass, apart from 2 pending. Now, the README says: "if you return a Proc object from your action, it will be called and the return value sent to the client." However this doesn''t seem to work with the following test controller: class Hello < Application def world res = "Hello world from

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

I''m working on new methods of doing Ajax calls through streaming responses. I''ve created a little javascript library (which depends on prototype.js) that can interpret a stream of JSON objects separated by semicolons. As an application of this, this Mongrel plug-in streams upload status when given a qualified upload_id. It looks like this:

merb_dispatcher.rb:28 controller = klass.build(request.body, request.params, route, response) Why not just use a typical constructor? merb_dispatcher.rb:35 raise Merb::HTTPMethodNotAllowed.new(method, allowed) Why not check for this after the action has been dispatched to the controller? controller_mixin.rb:149 def query_parse(qs, d = ''&;'') Why not offload query parsing

hi I''m using restful_authentication and have controller specs working using users fixtures (and login_as) however i''ve been trying for hours without success to do it without fixtures, using mocks and stubs instead. anyone here done this? got code? :) thanks

I''m modifying techno weenie''s progress bar plug-in. Currently it works by making the browser poll the server, via AJAX, for updates on amount received. My plug-in provides a handler which will stream updates on the amount received, thus only one request needs to be made. Also, the progress can be updated at faster rates since the client doesn''t need to poll. This should

Hello I''m attempting to write a mongrel plug-in which would stream a response. At first I was doing this def process(request, response) response.start do |head,out| head[''Content-Type''] = ''text/html'' %w{o m g}.each { |c| out.puts c; sleep 5; } end response.done = true end But then I looked at HttpResponse and decided
