mongrel

When did Mongrel vanish? What did this Phusion Passenger do to it?

Server: Apache/2.2.4 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8a Phusion_Passenger/1.9.1
X-Powered-By: Phusion Passenger (mod_rails/mod_rack) 1.9.1

I hope Mongrel was sent to a good home, and not cast out to wander the streets.

Sorry, it vapourised when I last exited my browser. I've got a new one now.

Oh can't I please see your session ID? ;-)

Oh, I forgot to add: this is a fun page on some of the odd things that have been spotted in response headers.

I have Firefox with the Server Spy and Web Developer Toolbar extensions, both of which can check the HTTP response headers. So if I ask WDT for this page's headers I see:

Ooohhh, secrety.

True, it is, in conjunction with Apache. How'd you figure this out? From an error message, maybe?

Apparently Wordie's server is Mongrel 1.0.1.
