#A Julia interface to Mongrel2
This package is deprecated. The Mongrel2 webserver hasn't turned out to be very popular, and Julia now has a native web server. Therefore, my current reccomendation is to use HTTPServer, fronted by an nginx or Apache2 reverse proxy
Mongrel2.jl is a package that enables writing [Mongrel2] (http://mongrel2.org/) handlers in the [Julia] (http://julialang.org) programming language.
Pkg.add("Mongrel2")This will also install the dependent Julia packages: [ZMQ] (https://github.com/aviks/ZMQ.jl) and [JSON] (https://github.com/JuliaLang/JSON.jl)
Install Mongrel2 and ZMQ libraries for your OS using your favourite package manager
##Usage
Start Mongrel2 in the usual fashion with m2sh using a relevant configuration. [Example] (https://raw.github.com/aviks/Mongrel2.jl/master/example/mongrel2.config)
load("Mongrel2")
using Mongrel2
t = run_server("6DFF1523-C091-49B8-B635-598640E864B3", "tcp://127.0.0.1:9997", "tcp://127.0.0.1:9996")
while true
(conn, req) = consume (t)
response = "<html><body>Sender: $(req.sender_id)<br>ConnectionId: $(req.connection_id)<br>
Path: $(req.path)<br>Headers: $(string(req.headers))<br> Body: $(req.body)</html></body>"
if is_disconnected(req); print("Disconnected $(req.connection_id) \n");continue; end
reply_http(conn, req, response); disconnect_client(conn,req);
