Hi,
I am just starting in both ruby and web development so maybe the
following pieces of code seem a sin for most of you.
I am writing a HTML form in a rhtml file and pass the parameters to
antoher rhtml with embebed ruby.
The HTTP server is built as follows:
-----------------
require 'webrick'
include WEBrick
def start_webrick(config = {})
config.update(:Port => 8080)
config.update(:MimeTypes => {'rhtml' => 'text/html'})
server = HTTPServer.new(config)
yield server if block_given?
['INT', 'TERM'].each {|signal|
trap(signal) {server.shutdown}
}
ruby_dir = File.expand_path('/www')
server.mount("/www", HTTPServlet::ERBHandler, ruby_dir)
server.start
end
start_webrick(:DocumentRoot => '/www')
-----------
the index.htrml is like follows
-----------
<HTML>
<FORM action="response.rhtml" method="POST">
METAR: <INPUT type="text" name="metar" size=80><BR>
<INPUT type="submit" value="Process">
</FORM>
</HTML>
----------
And finally the response.rhtml is
--------
<HTML>
<%
require 'cgi'
cgi = CGI.new
#Rest of code
%>
</HTML>
--------
The webrick server shows the following info while the loading of
response.rhtml simply freezes
----------

Why this offline message? Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance to the rubyists
