The *other* stuff is the access log.  You can suppress it by assigning 
an empty set of outputs:

  server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new( :AccessLog => [] )

Or you could send it to an access log file:

  server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(
    :AccessLog => [[Logger.new('access.log'), 
AccessLog::COMMON_LOG_FORMAT]] )

Whatever you choose I'm sure will work out for the best.
