Eric Wong,

Could you handle this very old ticket about webrick?

Feature #855: HTTP/1.1 fixes and other enhancements to webrick

 I raised the following issues on ruby-core:
 
 1. When returning an open IO object (without Content-Length or chunking), Webrick fails to close the HTTP/1.1 connection, and hence the client waits forever for the end of the data.
 http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/18454
 http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/18565
 
 2. Webrick makes it very difficult to send a '100 continue' response when a HTTP/1.1 client requests one, and yet the RFC2616 says it *must* do so.
 http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/18459
 
 3. It would be convenient to be able to stream not just real IO objects, but other objects which duck-type like them (such as an open zip file entry from rubyzip)
 http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/18460
 
 4. It would be convenient to be able to provide a proc object to generate a streamed response:
 proc { |out| out << "data"; out << "more data"; etc }
 
 5. The default block size of 4K is too small to be efficient when serving large files. This was already fixed for 1.9 in
 http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/repositories/revision/ruby-19?rev=10167
 (default now 64K and tunable). Please consider this for 1.8, especially since a similar improvement has been backported for Net::HTTP in
 http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/repositories/revision/ruby-18?rev=12092
 
 The attached file contains small monkey-patches to address these issues. If there is interest these could be rewritten as actual patches against webrick.
