Protocol::Rack

Provides abstractions for working with the Rack specification on top of Protocol::HTTP. This would, in theory, allow you to run any Protocol::HTTP compatible application on top any rack-compatible server.

Development Status

Features

  • Supports Rack v2 and Rack v3 application adapters.
  • Supports Rack environment to Protocol::HTTP::Request adapter.

Usage

Please see the project documentation for more details.

  • Getting Started - This guide explains how to get started with protocol-rack and integrate Rack applications with Protocol::HTTP servers.

  • Request and Response Handling - This guide explains how to work with requests and responses when bridging between Rack and Protocol::HTTP, covering advanced use cases and edge cases.

Releases

Please see the project releases for all releases.

v0.18.0

  • Correctly invoke rack.response_finished in reverse order.
  • Tolerate errors during rack.response_finished callbacks.

v0.17.0

  • Support rack.response_finished in Rack 2 if it's present in the environment.

v0.16.0

  • Hijacked IO is no longer duped, as it's not retained by the original connection, and SSLSocket does not support duping.

v0.15.0

  • Use IO::Stream::Readable for the input body, which is a better tested and more robust interface.

v0.14.0

  • Handling of HEAD requests is now more robust.

v0.13.0

  • 100% test and documentation coverage.
  • Protocol::Rack::Input#rewind now works when the entire input is already read.
  • Protocol::Rack::Adapter::Rack2 has stricter validation of the application response.

v0.12.0

  • Ignore (and close) response bodies for status codes that don't allow them.

v0.11.2

  • Stop setting env["SERVER_PORT"] to nil if not present.
