In the spirit of Basic's poke/peek, a rack-based web server.
Clone this here repo, cd into there, and
bundle install
and then
bundle exec rake env:hydrate:development
and FINALLY
rake
Your perserverance will be rewarded.
Poke:
curl --data "Hello World" http://localhost:9995/this/thing/here
And peek:
curl http://localhost:9995/this/thing/here
#=> "Hello World"
Whatsoever Content-Type header you use when poking, the same also shall be returned to you
when peeking the same location.
Take a look at config/thin.yml and config/server.ru. Go wild.
Poke also uses a middleware called Poke::About which exists for the purpose of
providing a dab of human-browserable info about Poke in general, and perhaps
your Poke server in particular. As such the paths / and /about are special.
A GET to those paths will return the informational message/page, etc. A POST to those paths will get you a 405 right in the teeth. No exceptions.
