m2r

A mongrel2 backend handler written in Ruby, based on Zed's Python backend handler.

Usage/Examples

examples/http_0mq.rb is a test little servlet thing (based on what comes with mongrel2).
examples/rack_handler.rb is a Mongrel2 ruby handler rack handler mouthful, whose variables are probably a little off.
examples/lobster.ru is a rackup file using the Rack handler that'll serve Rack's funny little lobster app.

ruby examples/http_0mq.rb, which with Mongrel2's test config will serve up at http://localhost:6767/handlertest
rackup examples/lobster.ru, ditto, http://localhost:6767/handlertest

With rails3: Add this to your Gemfile:

gem 'ffi'
gem 'ffi-rzmq'
gem 'json'

And this to your config.ru:

$: << location_to_m2r + '/example'
require 'rack_handler'

Rack::Handler::Mongrel2.run YourRailsAppName::Application

Then do all like bundle exec rackup

JRuby 1.5+ (don't use MRI - it will crash horribly, check the ISSUES file)
FFI, gem install ffi should be fine.
Zero MQ, you'll need to compile and install to get the headers and such for:
ffi-rzmq, which you'll have to build. The native zmq didn't work for me, but if you want to fix it, please do!
json, since the headers are returned in JSON, which is RAD. (Really Awesome, Dude)
Rack gem install rack if you want to run the rack example.
