Fcgi

ruby-talk
1

I am a little familiar with running FCGI applications and have done some work in Perl.

Under Perl I can test it easily enough by running the script from command line with STDIN/STDOUT and command line args. But this doesn't work at all under ruby.

A different approach is needed.

Is there something I could do to simplify the testing/development of fcgi scripts under ruby instead of editing them in cgi-bin and trying to run them from there?

   require 'rubygems' rescue nil
   require 'fcgi'

   FCGI.each_cgi{|cgi| cgi.out{ "<pre>#{ cgi.env_table.to_hash.to_yaml }</pre>" }}
