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

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

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''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:

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

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

This class provides a CookieJar object for Mongrels. Just initialize with response and request objects and then treat like a hash.

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)

Before anything else, let me state this: Of course it''s going to be PAINFULLY slow on MRI. That''s not the point :) I thought I''d try out writing out a Ruby version of the parser for the purposes of Rubinius. For those of you who aren''t aware, Ragel supports a goto-driven FSM on Rubinius by injecting assembly directly, and Rubinus head honcho guy Evan Phoenix

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

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

hello list! I like merb a lot, it frees me from dropping to mongrel every time i want to stream something. i have an action which will stream a list of JSON objects (separated by semicolons). unfortunately because of Mongrel''s write-only header hash, once a Content-Length header has been written, I can never again tell it to not send such a thing - and streaming doesn''t work if

Hi, I realise that Windows is a poor platform and that Webrick is a development, not production, server. However, we have started seeing this crop up when perfectly simple page to page links are invoked...

Hello :) I have a problem with the Net::HTTP library... The Net::HTTP library [1] uses a Net::HTTPResponse object for all it''s responses from web servers. This class has many subclasses, such as HTTPSuccess, HTTPRedirecttion, etc. When obtaining a response, the library suggests to check what it is by testing the class of the returned object - using case/when or kind_of? (which it does

Hello all, Last week, I finally decided to put into motion some ideas I''ve been kicking around for a year in my head since last year... Basically I don''t want to have to deal with threads or support platforms that rely on or encourage threads. Especially given MRI 1.9 where kernel threads are more difficult to debug than green ones. Given the limited scope of this project,

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

Hi, I am tryinig to work on the Mongrel examples. I am trying to modify the HttpResponse. def process(request, response) response.start do |head,out| if request.params["REQUEST_METHOD"] == OPTIONS" else end end One can detect that the request is OPTIONS like this, but how does one generate the custom response by using HttpResponse. Please help. Shubham
