Question

I have an app that has a htdocs folder with static files and a couple of CGI scripts on the httpd/cgi-bin folder. How can I use Rack with config.ru to serve this application?

My current config.ru:

map "/check" do
  What here  ("httpd/cgi-bin/check_wrapper.sh")
end

run Rack::Directory.new("htdocs")

Answer 1

You can use the backticks to run the command and grab the output.

map "/check" do
  run Proc.new { |env| [200, {"Content-Type" => "text/html"}, [`./httpd/cgi-bin/check_wrapper.sh`] ] } 
end

run Rack::Directory.new("htdocs")
