Dear Mongrel Users, It appears that Francis still isn''t satisfied with my attempts to apologize and he''s now asked me privately to retract my statements. So, just to be sure he finally gets it: I retract my statements that Francis and his friends are "shady" and "desperate for cash". He is in no way a shady guy, having dealt with this situation with the

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

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

Guys, Just for fun, I tried to see (I know, a silly way to test it) how much overhead we have calling the C functions of the extensions. the benchmark script and the results: http://pastie.caboo.se/128646 The naive C extension: http://pastie.caboo.se/128647 I compared 1.8.6 (VC6 and mingw builds) against a fresh checkout of ruby trunk. What I understand from that is 1.9 is slower than 1.8

I just found a vulnerability in one of my web apps that was running Mongrel 1.1.2 where I could go to URIs like /.%252e/.%252e/.%252e/.%252e/.%252e/.%252e/.%252e/etc/passwd and it would serve the actual /etc/passwd file. The issue seems to be in lib/mongrel/handlers.rb in the change from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4 req_path = HttpRequest.unescape(path_info) - if @path - req_path =

I heard about a new mongrel plugin or version that''s single threaded and uses non-blocking IO with events. It''s called something like "swifty fly". Anyone have a link for it? Thanks.

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

It would be an interesting topic. I bet there are quite a few. I just released one that 1/2 runs on Mongrel. http://direxionfunds.com It was released before it was _quite_ ready, but the last of the content is getting inserted today. I am still waffling on how I will leave it running longterm. Right now it uses a slightly modified version of the Mongrel http parser with EventMachine to front

Hello I''ve a client which send this request to a mongrel HTTPHandler : res=Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse(''http://localhost:3000/test''),{"a"=>1,"b"=>2}) But in the handler I can''t read the parameters one by one, I can read the entire String only : class Serveur class MyHandler < Mongrel::HttpHandler def process(req, resp)

Hello all, The following change to Mongrel::HttpRequest: def read_socket(len) if !@socket.closed? data = @socket.recv(len) # <--- formerly @socket.read(len) if !data raise "Socket read return nil" elsif data.length != len raise "Socket read returned insufficient data: #{data.length}" else data end else raise "Socket

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 Mongrels, Anyone used Packet? http://rubyforge.org/projects/packet It''s a pure-Ruby (I think) evented framework. It might offer a nice way forward for 1.9''s system threads, JRuby, and Windows, all at once. Mongrel''s green thread queue doesn''t have a lot of life left in it.

Francis, I read in the list archives back that a future EventMachine release will support epoll on Linux (i.e., it''s in the trunk). Better still, is there a possibility that EM will rely on libevent so that it will be architecture independent (i.e. epoll on Linux, kqueue on FreeBSD/Mac OS X, /dev/poll on Solaris)? This is how memcached is implemented, and it would be helpful to be able

Hi , I am writing a rake task to consume twitter stream API. The task contains the following code: consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, :site => ''http://twitter.com'') access_token = OAuth::AccessToken.new(consumer,ACCESS_TOKEN,ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET) oauth_params = {:consumer => consumer, :token => access_token} EventMachine.run do # now,

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.

Would you bother to setup a fastcgi for a "intranet accessible" application that is like to get < 100 hits a day? David

Calling All Mongrel Minions! I wanna have some fun and would like this as a Christmas present. The site http://www.workingwithrails.com/ has this lame popularity system that''s kind of irking some of the main Ruby contributors. I think it''s kind of funny, but would like to demonstrate what an army of motivated people can do to these kinds of popularity contests. So, as a

Bradley Taylor shot me this *goldmine* of ugly ugly ugly dogs: http://www.sonoma-marinfair.org/uglydogvote.shtml I *have* to use one of these for the Mongrel BUGS Mascot. He''ll go on our bug list page and replace the little beetles on the left. Pick the dog you think best represents a lovable but defective pooch and reply to this with your +1. Let the voting begin! -- Zed A. Shaw

Hey Folks, This is a quick release that fixes a major bug. I forgot to require the timeout library properly in mongrel.rb so people using Mongrel outside of Rails would see pauses. 0.3.3 fixes this all up. The 0.3.3 release also has a small change to the examples/simpletest.rb file with some gzip response using Ruby''s zlib support. Curious what people think about this and whether it
