From: shevegen@... Date: 2018-09-27T22:18:49+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:89198] [Ruby trunk Bug#15170] Allow WEBrick::HTTPServlet::initialize to accept an array in server[:CGIInterpreter] Issue #15170 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler). I do not have any pro or con opinion (I rarely use webrick these days) but I think if you can retain backward compatibility then this may make any patch in this regard a lot easier. If you have the time, I would like to suggest to you to consider having a look at the code over a weekend or another one and consider a pull request - even if it may not be perfect, I am sure others can comment on it leading to improvements. I think what may help the most, though, is if you can manage to get one or the other from the ruby core team to comment on the proposal; from my experience this helps quite a bit. (And you can also suggest it for a ruby developer meeting, even though it is a very small change; but perhaps small changes can be discussed quickly. I do not know how the developer meetings work in practice, but I assume that certain issues take a lot more time to discuss.) Next developer meeting is here: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15129 But of course you can also wait and let others comment on the issue here, which may take some time perhaps. ---------------------------------------- Bug #15170: Allow WEBrick::HTTPServlet::initialize to accept an array in server[:CGIInterpreter] https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15170#change-74223 * Author: remi.lapeyre (R��mi Lapeyre) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- There is currently no nice way to give WEBrick::HTTPServlet a command with arguments as an array. This force scripts to escape the paths to the given command. One way to let people specify either a string or an array of strings would be to set `cgicmd` as a string or an array based on the type of `server[:CGIInterpreter]`. This should be a backward compatible change if I understand the code correctly. I never wrote Ruby but could try to submit a pull request if you think this change could be a good idea. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
