2 Tiny, fast & funny HTTP server
4 Thin is a Ruby web server that glues together 3 of the best Ruby libraries in web history:
5 * the Mongrel parser: the root of Mongrel speed and security
6 * Event Machine: a network I/O library with extremely high scalability, performance and stability
7 * Rack: a minimal interface between webservers and Ruby frameworks
8 Which makes it, with all humility, the most secure, stable, fast and extensible Ruby web server
9 bundled in an easy to use gem for your own pleasure.
12 For the latest stable version:
16 or using my mirror (might be more recent and unstable):
18 sudo gem install thin --source http://code.macournoyer.com
22 git clone git://github.com/macournoyer/thin.git
27 A +thin+ script is offered to easily start your Rails application:
32 But Thin is also usable through Rack +rackup+ command.
33 You need to setup a config.ru file and require thin in it:
42 'Content-Type' => 'text/html',
43 'Content-Length' => '2'
53 See example/config.ru for details and rackup -h
