Hi,

Is there a archive off [http://api.rubyonrails.org/](http://api.rubyonrails.org/) so that I can view it  
without net access?

Kind Regards, Herbert

Run “gem\_server”: it will start WEBrick on the port 8808 with the  
documentation of all the installed gems. Then point your browser to  
[http://localhost:8808](http://localhost:8808)

Good luck,

Francois

You will find a a copy of the Rails api, bundled for offline enjoyment,  
at  
[http://rubynow.com/rails\_api.tar.bz2](http://rubynow.com/rails_api.tar.bz2)

I hope it helps.
