Yahns 1.5.0 -_- sleepy app server for Ruby

Ruby
1

A Free Software, multi-threaded, non-blocking network application server
designed for low idle power consumption. It is primarily optimized
for applications with occasional users which see little or no traffic.
yahns currently hosts Rack/HTTP applications, but may eventually support
other application types. Unlike some existing servers, yahns is
extremely sensitive to fatal bugs in the applications it hosts.

Changes:

initial OpenSSL support and bugfixes

This release adds basic OpenSSL support for HTTPS connections.

Users must supply a OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext object which yahns will

use
as-is. yahns will only support HTTPS on Ruby 2.1 and later, as we
rely
on “exception: false” in the read_nonblock and write_nonblock
methods in
OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.

See the Ruby standard library documentation on how to configure
OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext objects to pass to the yahns "listen"

directive
Editing the yahns config file to use OpenSSL goes something like
this:

    require 'openssl' # we will not do this for the user, even
    ctx = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new
    # user must configure ctx here...

    listen 443, ssl_ctx: ctx

Note: yahns developers are not responsible for bugs in OpenSSL

itself
or misconfigured SSLContext objects created by users. However, our
support of OpenSSL sockets is barely-tested and likely buggy, too.

Furthermore, the "sendfile" (or "kgio-sendfile") gem is no longer a
required dependency.  It is currently impossible to use zero-copy
system calls with TLS sockets.

There are also minor cleanups and a bugfix to ensure body#close is
called for folks using body#to_path where `body' is the Rack
response body.  This bug affected logging using the 'clogger' gem
when serving static files.

Shortlog of changes since 1.4.0

      extras/autoindex: simplify checking non-.gz
      Rakefile: kill more useless gsub use
      initial cut at OpenSSL support
      test/test_ssl: skip test if SSL on older Rubies
      wbuf_common: close body proxies on sendfile abort
      bump published Ruby version requirement to 2.0
      make sendfile an optional dependency

Please note the disclaimer:

yahns is extremely sensitive to fatal bugs in the apps it hosts.
There
is no (and never will be) any built-in “watchdog”-type feature to kill
stuck processes/threads. Each yahns process may be handling thousands
of clients; unexpectedly killing the process will abort all of those
connections. Lives may be lost!

yahns hackers are not responsible for your application/library bugs.
Use an application server which is tolerant of buggy applications
if you cannot be bothered to fix all your fatal bugs.
