Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Grack - Rack-based Git Smart-HTTP Handler
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2009 10:57:53 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d411cc4a0911031057q652c325ay13dee80c7d9b4606@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Just a quick note for those of you interested in running a smart-http
server once Shawns series graduates from 'pu' - I don't use Apache and
the provided git-http-backend CGI script only works with Apache
currently (and only CGI-supporting servers in general). In order to
allow Git smart-http to work through a wider variety of servers, I
wrote a Rack application that does the same things that
git-http-backend does, in case CGI/Apache is not your particular bag
of fun.
Rack (http://rack.rubyforge.org/) is a Ruby webserver interface - you
can write an application for it and it has a bunch of handlers for
common webservers so you can deal with a middleware abstraction rather
than a specific server implementation. This is nice because it means
the Rack app I wrote that provides (hopefully) identical functionality
to the git-http-backend script can run in the following webservers:
* Just about anything that supports CGI or FCGI
* Mongrel (and EventedMongrel and SwiftipliedMongrel)
* WEBrick
* SCGI
* LiteSpeed
* Thin
* Ebb
* Fuzed
* Phusion Passenger (which is mod_rack for Apache and for nginx)
* Unicorn
You can also generate a WAR file from it (via the Warbler project and
JRuby) that can be loaded into any Java application server (I tested
it on Glassfish, but Tomcat, Websphere, JBoss, Jetty, etc should all
work too).
The project is here:
http://github.com/schacon/grack
I've tested it on a few servers, I'll try to test it on more and
provide example setups for each. If you use it, please let me know
how things go.
