htty-rack is an extension to htty that switches the HTTP backend in favour of a Rack application. For that purpose, it also provides a set of commands for controlling which rack application is used etc.

Warning

Alpha. No Features guaranteed.

Installation

Use rubygems:

$ gem install htty-rack

Usage

htty-rack uses a different executable than htty. Start htty-rack using:

$ htty-rack <config-file>

If no config (*.ru) file is given, htty-rack will recursively descend to find a file called “config.ru”.

Examples

Beyond the examples described on the htty page, htty-rack supports a few other commands:

  • app <app> will change the rack appliation in use. The argument must be a ruby constant.

  • config <file> will load a new rackup file and use the application therein.

  • irb starts irb so that you can manipulate the environment.

Thanks

  • Nils Jonsson for writing htty and making this project possible
