Control Tower is a web application server for Rack-based MacRuby applications based on Apple’s Grand Central Dispatch libraries.
It is composed of three major components: A Grand Central Dispatch based networking layer, the Mongrel HTTP parser, and Rack web application interface. It is currently very much a work in progress!
From the root directory of the project, run:
$ rake package $ sudo macgem install pkg/control_tower-0.1-universal-darwin-10.gem
There are currently only 4 supported command line options:
-
-R <rackup_config.ru> : Where you specify the Rackup config file to run
-
-h <hostname> : Hostname for the server (Control Tower will only respond to requests to this host)
-
-p <port> : Port # for the server
-
-c : Use this to enable serving requests to a GCD concurrent queue
Control Tower is covered by the Ruby license. See COPYING for more details.
