Subject: Re: RubyGems or any HTTP on XP NOT working

Both Ctrl-C and Ctrl-Break work if no browser requests to the server
yet.  I use the following command to start the Rails HTTP server,

ruby script/server

I can terminate it with either Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break before using the
brower to access the server at http://localhost:3000.  Once the request
is in, the server seems to be hanging and has no response to Ctrl-C nor
Ctrl-Break.  This is the same behavior when RubyGems is trying to
connect to a remote server.  The only way to stop the HTTP server or
RubyGems is by closing the DOS window.
