= Tracks

Tiny/Threaded Rack Server.

Tracks is a bare-bones HTTP server that talks Rack and uses a thread per

connection model of concurrency, written entirely in Ruby.

* bare-bones: by doing only what it must, Tracks is kept small and fast

* Rack based: Tracks natively uses the Rack api you already know, add missing

  features with Rack middleware

* threaded: use Tracks for those problems where threads are the solution

* pure Ruby: install and run anywhere Ruby is available, without need for a C

  compiler. Debug the whole stack. Runs great on Ruby 1.8, 1.9, JRuby,

  Rubinius, and MacRuby

== Features

* handles concurrent requests

* stream requests in and responses out

* keep-alive support

* on 100-continue automatically sends continue response when #read is called on

  rack.input

* graceful shutdown

* easily extensible, see

  examples[http://github.com/matsadler/tracks/tree/master/examples]

== Install

  gem install tracks

== Usage

Add require 'tracks' to your config.ru, like so:

  require 'tracks'

  use Rack::ContentLength

  

  run(Proc.new do |env|

    [200, {"Content-Type" => "text/plain"}, ["Hello world!\n"]]

  end)

and start it up with rackup -stracks

you can also use the 'magic comment' #\ --server tracks in your

config.ru to default to Tracks.
