unicorn-soft-timeout

This gem adds support for soft timeout in Unicorn configurations, by default requests which are taking longer than configured timeout are SIGKILL-ed.

In some cases we need to intercept requests which will reach timeout to display a custom content instead of the error page. This extension will raise Timeout::Error when reaching the soft timeout and will restart the worker sending a SIGQUIT signal to it.
