Subject: bwlimit or throttle in WEBrick?


I'm in the middle of writing a P2P tool with openssl+WEBrick. A lot of
things are supported out of the box, but one thing I miss is throttling
or some way to limit/cap the bandwidth. 

For the client part, I can do good enough things with Net::HTTP, ranges and
pauses. For the server part I want to something too. 

As webrick has no throttling capacity of its own I started to dig the
archives and found 'bwlimit' as a dead and lost RAA-project. Anyone have
a copy left? Any good parts to share? 

Or should I hack into webricks HTTPResponse#send_body-functions? 
Chunked with timing and pauses?
