htty-rack is an extension to htty that switches the HTTP backend in favour of a Rack application. For that purpose, it also provides a set of commands for controlling which rack application is used etc.

Warning¶ ↑

Alpha. No Features guaranteed.

Installation¶ ↑

At the moment, this only works with the htty fork found at:

http://github.com/Asquera/htty-rack

Use rubygems:

$ gem install htty-rack

Usage¶ ↑

htty-rack uses a different executable than htty. Start htty-rack using:

$ htty-rack <config-file>

If no config (*.ru) file is given, htty-rack will recursively descend to find a file called “config.ru”.

Examples¶ ↑

Beyond the examples described on the htty page, htty-rack supports a few other commands:

• app <app> will change the rack appliation in use. The argument must be a ruby constant.

• config <file> will load a new rackup file and use the application therein.

• irb starts irb so that you can manipulate the environment.

Thanks¶ ↑

• Nils Jonsson for writing htty and making this project possible
