Hi Folks,

An update to tell everyone to try out the pre-release again:

sudo gem install mongrel  
–source=[http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/](http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/)

Nothing available for win32 yet, the next pre-release will have a win32  
build to check that windows folks are OK.

This release fixes the following problems:

- PID files weren’t being written when configured. Works now and logs  
messages better.
- Small change to the HTTP parser to allow for headers that don’t have a  
space after the “:” character, which is allowed by the RFC.  
– Everyone using McAfee Security Center should contact them and tell  
them their product is a piece of crap. You should also consider not  
using it since they seem to be modifying people’s HTTP requests in bogus  
ways and telling you that this is a “security” feature.

This release is pretty close to becoming official. Everyone needs to  
test it out and shoot me any final problems. The current outstanding  
problems I have are:

55.BUG: test tom brice’s upload app with keepalive  
56.BUG: safari ganks on the deflate filter  
57.BUG: look at Ben Moore’s bug on ECONNABORTED  
59.BUG: content-type not getting set

If the folks mentioned could check this release against their problems  
then that will help quite a bit.

Thanks!
