== Thin
Tiny, fast & funny HTTP server
 
Thin is a Ruby web server that glues together 3 of the best Ruby libraries in web history:
* the Mongrel parser: the root of Mongrel speed and security
* Event Machine: a network I/O library with extremely high scalability, performance and stability
* Rack: a minimal interface between webservers and Ruby frameworks
 
Which makes it, with all humility, the most secure, stable, fast and extensible Ruby web server
bundled in an easy to use gem for your own pleasure.
 
=== Installation
IMPORTANT: Until EventMachine 0.11.0 is out, you have to install it from trunk or from my gem server:
 
 sudo gem install eventmachine --source http://code.macournoyer.com
 
For the latest stable version:
 
 sudo gem install thin
 
or using my mirror (might be more recent and unstable):
 
 sudo gem install thin --source http://code.macournoyer.com
 
Or from source:
 
 git clone git://github.com/macournoyer/thin.git
 cd thin
 rake install
 
=== Usage
A +thin+ script offers an easy way to start your Rails application:
 
 cd to/your/rails/app
 thin start
 
But Thin is also usable with a Rack config file.
You need to setup a config.ru file and pass it to the thin script:
  
 cat config.ru
 app = proc do |env|
  [
    200,
    {
      'Content-Type' => 'text/html',
      'Content-Length' => '2'
    },
    ['hi']
  ]
 end
 
 run app
 
 thin start -r config.ru
 
See example directory for more samples and run 'thin -h' for usage.
