jacaetevha / add_support_for_HTTP_OPTIONS.rb

Created August 26, 2009 16:13

Add support for the HTTP OPTIONS method to a Sinatra application.

	# The HTTP OPTIONS method allows for cross-site HTTP requests.
	# For more information see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTTP_access_control
	# and, of course, the HTTP spec (section 9.2) at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html

	# In this example, we plan to use it in development mode only
	configure :development do
	# Open the Sinatra::Base class and add the method. We can't
	# use 'options' as the method name because there is already
	# an options method on the class.
	class << Sinatra::Base

pietern / redis_pubsub_demo.rb

Created March 29, 2010 19:04

	# Author: Pieter Noordhuis
	# Description: Simple demo to showcase Redis PubSub with EventMachine
	#
	# Update 7 Oct 2010:
	# - This example does not appear to work with Chrome >=6.0. Apparently,
	# the WebSocket protocol implementation in the cramp gem does not work
	# well with Chrome's (newer) WebSocket implementation.
	#
	# Requirements:
	# - rubygems: eventmachine, thin, cramp, sinatra, yajl-ruby
