From: "drbrain (Eric Hodel)" Date: 2012-06-09T08:42:06+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:45527] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6559][Assigned] Set DoNotReverseLookup to true in Webrick Issue #6559 has been updated by drbrain (Eric Hodel). File webrick.do_not_reverse_lookup.patch added Status changed from Open to Assigned Assignee set to nahi (Hiroshi Nakamura) Target version changed from 1.9.3 to 2.0.0 Here is a patch to disable reverse lookup by default. I don't think this can be backported to ruby 1.9.3 since it is a behavior change. ---------------------------------------- Feature #6559: Set DoNotReverseLookup to true in Webrick https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6559#change-27118 Author: rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: nahi (Hiroshi Nakamura) Category: lib Target version: 2.0.0 I often find it annoying that it is too slow to test my web applications from VirtualBox because Webrick will try to do reverse lookup and I have set the names directly in the hosts file, so a reverse lookup will always time out. Also I can't find a simple way for setting this behavior in a global way for all my rubies installed. Could we please try to improve this behavior? I'm certainly not the first one to complain about this... -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
