rack-mongrel2

The only Mongrel2 Rack handler you'll ever need.

I wrote this because I wanted to learn Mongrel2, and I didn't like what was out there. I copy-pasted a lot of code from Colin Curtin's m2r project (http://github.com/perplexes/m2r), but I also changed and reorganized it into what I believe is a good setup for a proper rubygem.

How to use

1. Get mongrel2 installed (http://mongrel2.org/wiki?name=GettingStarted)

2. Get your config for mongrel2 setup (see example directory)

3. Add it to your Gemfile

   gem 'rack-mongrel2', '~> 0.2.0', :require => nil

4. You also need some sort of JSON parsing library installed, like Yajl or JSON (gem i yajl-ruby or gem i json). json-jruby will work too

5. Run Mongrel2

6. Run your rails application

   RACK_MONGREL2_UUID= rails s Mongrel2

7. Profit!

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
