similar to: Reading HTTP Request parameters

By default, Mongrel will delete the HTTP request body and short circuit calling any handlers if a request is interrupted or incomplete. Unfortunately, this breaks any attempt to correctly handle a partial PUT. (BTW, PUT is *way* more efficient for uploads compared to POST which requires a MIME parsing step.) So, about a month ago I wrote up some patches to Mongrel 0.3.18 that allowed

I''m looking at writing a Mongrel handler that mimics the behavior of the Apache mod_put [1]. It allows for the streaming upload of very large (GB) files; it also supports resumable upload. Before I get too involved, I''d like to ask if my reading of the mongrel source code is correct, i.e. what I want to do isn''t currently possible. Looking at the class

Mongrel Users: How does the HttpHandler process() method deal with data passed via POST? The HttpRequest object captures all GET params appended to an URL, but I just tried to retrieve data passed via POST and it came up nil. that is, I assumed the HttpRequest object contained the param named in the html form and its value.But the POST passed params are not found in the request object. Please

Hey all, First off, thanks to Rick Olson and whoever else was involved with this plugin... It''s been amazingly easy to implement. I''ve got a question about the path_info parameter, though... It seems that unless the request PATH_INFO exactly matches the path_info passed in to the plugin at inclusion, it won''t actually trigger Add and add the upload to the list of

Hi All, First, I''m new to the list, so I''d like to say hello to all fellow mongrelists :) Second, I''d like to ask you if there''s any way to make a simple mongrel script run multithreaded? No rails, just plain old class MyHandler < Mongrel::HttpHandler . . . h = Mongrel::HttpServer.new("127.0.0.1", "80") stuff. Since win32 lacks fork,

Hello Mongrel Fans, After about a Month of busy work, bad computers, moving half my house across the country, and other dramas, I''m finally pushing out the next release of Mongrel. This pre-release has lots of little goodies and the start of some documentation that should get everyone primed for the big "Mongrel 0.4 Enterprisey Edition 1.2" coming real soon now. INSTALLING

I started actually using the upload progress handler, and noticed it was leaking memory over time. Looking at the code, I noticed that cancelled uploads weren''t being cleaned up. I bugged Zed about adding a request_abort callback to handlers, but I found a simple way to monkey patch that in: # config/mongrel_upload_progress.conf # yes, this file is being used with -S meaning

Hi I am writing my own handler and seeing some strance behavior. Best is describing by the following code say I create mongrel server (see at the end of the email) and have one handler for the root (so shoudl handle all request..) To my surprise the @a in the following code in the Handlder is not the object I expect but a hash containing the name {:a => <SomeObject Instance> }

Hi, I found this article http://cyll.org/blog/tech/2006-08-09-themongrelcomet.html on mongrel and COMET very interesting. I ran the code, and it worked just as Christopher explained. The one thing I don''t understand is why mongrel can only handle 1 connection at a time. I thought that mongrel used a thread per connection. It appears that each registered handler can only handle 1

Hi, I''m trying to write a file upload monitor for mongrel that uses juggernaut to alert the browser of a change. I''m writing a plugin that uses Mongrel::HttpHandlerPlugin but it looks like the only method that gets called is process and that is only when the upload has finished. I''m setting the following: @request_notify = true But I am still only getting process to

Hi, I am trying to run Mongrel on win32 to serve an internal rails application. We are accessing legacy data, and some transactions can take 5 to 10 seconds. This is holding up every other request. The -n does not seem to be supported on Win32. Am I missing something, or should I look elsewhere to serve my Rails app on win32? Thanks, Walt -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Hey all I am working with a technology standard (specific to the commercial print industry) by which each element within the workflow has bi- directional HTTP messaging. As each side needs a http server, I thought I could either: a) use a gem plugin to modify the behavior of mongrel b) subclass Mongrel::HttpHandler In short, its xml messaging between two points; each with a HTTP client

Hi everyone, Is there an easy way to parse multipart form requests from within a Mongrel::HttpHandler subclass or do I need to break out RFC 2388 and a bunch of regexps?

Hi all- I''m running mongrel with a tiny HttpHandler that hooks into a larger library I''m working on. I''ve run into a snag with trying to debug with it in that I''m not entirely sure how to get the exception logs of errors that are raised. All I get to stderr is this: Fri Dec 22 17:16:14 -0800 2006: ERROR: Couldn''t find Models::Contact without

hi, i was thinking of creating a WebDAV plugin for mongrel, but ran into an issue... the http parser hardcodes which request methods it considers valid, so it blocks non-standard request methods like MKCOL, PROPFIND, etc. i''m not familiar with the type of grammar being used for the parser, but is it possible to defer the request method validation to a later point, possibly inside the

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to make a prompt for the user (exactly like raw_input() in Python), the response to which can then be used as an object.

Hi, I''ve just installed Mongrel 3.12.4 on OS X, and had one little difficulty: I kept getting an error message saying that HTTPHandler didn''t exist, maybe it was Mongrel, I don''t remember. Turns out that there was a lot more missing than that, so it doesn''t really matter. What was happening is that http11 was not installing and the "require
