Thin
Tiny, fast & funny HTTP server
Thin is a Ruby web server that glues together 3 of the best Ruby libraries in web history:
- the Mongrel parser: the root of Mongrel speed and security
- Event Machine: a network I/O library with extremely high scalability, performance and stability
- Rack: a minimal interface between webservers and Ruby frameworks
Which makes it, with all humility, the most secure, stable, fast and extensible Ruby web server bundled in an easy to use gem for your own pleasure.

Installation
For the latest stable version:
sudo gem install thin
Or from source:
git clone git://github.com/macournoyer/thin.git cd thin rake install
Usage
A thin script offers an easy way to start your Rails application:
cd to/your/rails/app thin start
But Thin is also usable with a Rack config file. You need to setup a config.ru file and pass it to the thin script:
cat config.ru app = proc do |env| [ 200, { 'Content-Type' => 'text/html', 'Content-Length' => '2' }, ['hi'] ] end
run app
thin start -R config.ru
See example directory for more samples and run 'thin -h' for usage.
