Mongrel and Windows: I was so dumb

Mongrel and Windows: I was so dumb

[Luis Lavena]

Hello guys,

I seems that I messed with my environment a bit, and that's why some
of the test failed.

The truth is that I switched from desktop to notebook a few weeks
back, and most of the development was done on desktop until two weeks
back.

Since my notebook is loaded with NOD32 v3, versus my desktop with
version 2.7, it seems they have a "web filter" that was blocking
ruby.exe bad HTTP requests.

Yeah, SO DUMB!

Sorry I made you guys waste time checking for this...

It wouldn't happen again :-D

Also, I'm working on a series of patches that take care of mingw as
platform. I'm just tired of RUBY_PLATFORM regex. Can we add
Mongrel.windows? and Mongrel.java?

Regards guys.

Wow, that is bizarre.

The platform checks are fine. Do they belong in Mongrel, or do they
belong in the build chain?

Specific platform usage inside mongrel:

- To writer or not the pid file:

http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/browser/trunk/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb#L83

(which is pointless, it should generate the pid file on every
platform, even Windows).

- Allow or not daemonize:

http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/browser/trunk/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb#L189

Which is fair, it should remain there

- Setup signals:

http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/browser/trunk/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb#L364

Which is also good.

Other places:

http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/browser/trunk/bin/mongrel_rails#L139

the usage of restart on Windows, seems logical, since there are no
signals to handle it.

Oh, a good catch:

http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/browser/trunk/bin/mongrel_rails#L85

Mongrel should validate pre-existing pids always, not only in
daemonize mode. Thoughts?

To use or not fastthread and cgi eof fix.

http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/browser/trunk/lib/mongrel.rb#L13

Of course, a few more check on the new Logger (buffered logger) and
cgi_multipart eof subproject. Fastthread, GemPlugin and even
mongrel_service (yeah, I plain suck at planing on the long run).

All sounds good.

Fastthread and cgi_multipart are going away so there is no sense
worrying about them. In 1.2 they get required if they are installed,
but they are not gem dependencies for any platform.

yeah, also if two builders run at the same time, they have a port
collition. I'm adding process_based_port to testhelp.rb to provide a
port, based on 5000 and the process number:


irb(main):001:0> 5000 + $$ % 1000
=> 5656

That will make my CI happy :-)

(I'm doing the changes right now for rubygems too, found a clash due
that during setup).

Oh, and forgot to make it generate the artifacts, so we can grab the
pre-compiled gem from there ;-)

Regards,
