Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a thread safe ruby fast cgi dispatcher. I had seen one a  
while ago that was a hack / fix on this dispatcher  
([http://derrick.pallas.us/ruby-cgi/](http://derrick.pallas.us/ruby-cgi/)). Was written by a japanese guy I  
believe. I’m thinking that dispatcher from derrick is not thread safe…  
I know this was an issue with initial rails releases but has since been  
fixed…

I’m not looking for anything particular to rails. More particular to a  
thread safe dispatcher to serve ruby on web.

Thanks  
-Aaron

If you’re not really looking for Rails, then look at Merb. It’s thread  
safe.

I’m actually looking for the actual source of a thread safe dispatcher.  
Merb looks like another application server? Derricks dispatcher  
([http://derrick.pallas.us/ruby-cgi/](http://derrick.pallas.us/ruby-cgi/)) is exactly what i’m looking for but  
not thread safe… I had seen someone fixed / rewrote it to be at some  
point though.
