Ruby 1.9 and Thin (config.ru and Rack::File)

[documentcloud]

It looks like when Thin uses a config.ru under Ruby 1.9, it evaluates it under the Rack module, which breaks code that relies on the top-level File, instead of Rack::File. See:

http://github.com/documentcloud/cloud-crowd/issues/closed#issue/6

If this is really a problem with Rack/Ruby1.9, instead of Thin, feel free to close the ticket.

Same behaviour in Rack's rackup command line tool.
This event looks like a constant lookup issue in 1.9.
Works find in 1.8. I'll try to figure out a fix, let me know if you find one.

See this:

My workaround is using full module path (::File instead of File).

Haven't found any other way then ::File, let me know if you know of a fix.
