= Mongrel: Simple Fast Mostly Ruby Web Server
Mongrel is a small library that provides a very fast HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby
web applications. It is not particular to any framework, and is intended to
be just enough to get a web application running behind a more complete and robust
web server.

What makes Mongrel so fast is the careful use of a C extension to provide fast
HTTP 1.1 protocol parsing and fast URI lookup. This combination makes the server
scream without too many portability issues.

== License
Mongrel is copyright 2007 Zed A. Shaw and contributors. It is licensed under the Ruby license and the GPL2. See the include LICENSE file for details.
== Quick Start
After you've installed (either with gem install mongrel or via source) you should
have the mongrel_rails command available in your PATH. Then you just do the following:
The easiest way to get started with Mongrel is to install it via RubyGems and then run a Ruby on Rails application. You can do this easily:
> cd myrailsapp
> mongrel_rails start
$ gem install mongrel
This will start it in the foreground so you can play with it. It runs your application
in production mode. To get help do:
Now you should have the mongrel_rails command available in your PATH, so just do the following:
> mongrel_rails start -h
$ cd myrailsapp
$ mongrel_rails start
Finally, you can then start in background mode (probably won't work in win32):
This will start it in the foreground so you can play with it. It runs your application in production mode. To get help do:
> mongrel_rails start -d
$ mongrel_rails start -h
Finally, you can then start in background mode:
$ mongrel_rails start -d
And you can stop it whenever you like with:
> mongrel_rails stop
$ mongrel_rails stop
All of which should be done from your application's directory. It writes the
PID of the process you ran into log/mongrel.pid.
There are also many more new options for configuring the rails runner including
changing to a different directory, adding more MIME types, and setting processor
threads and timeouts.

== Install
It doesn't explicitly require Camping, but if you want to run the examples/camping/
examples then you'll need to install Camping 1.2 at least (and redcloth I think).
These are all available from RubyGems.

The library consists of a C extension so you'll need a C compiler or at least a friend
who can build it for you.

If you run this and access port 3000 with a browser it will say
"hello!". If you access it with any url other than "/test" it will
give a simple 404. Check out the Mongrel::Error404Handler for a
basic way to give a more complex 404 message.

This also shows the DirHandler with directory listings. This is still
rough but it should work for basic hosting. *File extension to mime
type mapping is missing though.*
