thin

I recently 'upgraded' my app to the cedar platform on heroku. By default I am using thin as a web server. But I have always been tempted to use unicorn for concurrency and having my dyno dollar go father. But I worry there are some gotchas in using something other than Thin. Does anyone have real life experience with this decision? Thanks! Jonathan Notes: This was the article that got me excited about the idea: http://michaelvanrooijen.com/articles/2011/06/01-more-concurrency-on-a-single-heroku-dyno-with-the-new-celadon-cedar-stack/ I know every app is different, and that you should build a

I have banged my head on this for 2 days now and i dint find any luck yet. Looking for help on this. The issue: Front End makes 10 similar XHR requests ( for different users ) to my Rails API and few of the requests randomly fails with 404 status code. My Observations: If i make the same request again, It passes. I dont see any trace of 404 requests even hitting my server ( using logs ). I do see different response headers for 200 and 404 ( mentioned below ) and i see cowboy ( https://github.com/heroku/cowboyku , https://github.com/heroku/vegur ) server for 404 requests. I run my rails

I have been trying to configure my rails project to use SSL (as application wide) with thin (by adding thin gem and placing config.force_ssl = true to application.rb ) but as a result, I have an annoying problem. When I start my rails server using rails s and try to access http://localhost:3000 it redirects to https://localhost:3000 which is correct, however it will complain about missing SSL certification.. SSL connection error Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have

I have a Rails app that is configured to only use SSL. I also have free SSL certificates from StartSSL. I use thin as my web server with this command: thin start -p 80 & thin start -p 443 --ssl --ssl-key-file ./.ssl/sslkey.key --ssl-cert-file ./.ssl/sslcert.cert & This technically works-- visiting the http version of my site redirects to the https version. However, Chrome and Safari both prompt me when I visit the site to "Select a Certificate" from my local Keychain to validate with the server. This behavior is not desirable. How do I set up thin with SSL in such a way that this dialog does

My question is similar to this one Rails 3.2 Asset Pipeline with Passenger Endless Errors except that when I try to actually go to <link href="/assets/application-eed7996ee9017637f923133371ab3e92.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> I get a 404. Here's the thing I don't understand. It is looking in /assets/, but when I look at the code that was deployed, the assets are only in /public/assets, which is actually a symlink to /var/www/myapp/shared/assets. So what in the world is responsible for telling the app that looking in /assets will produce correct results?? I am using Rails
