nginx, rack-rewrite and refraction are possible solutions for my migration. It's a simple 1-to-1 mapping from old URLs to a new domain from the old one, e.g. http://old.com/posts/id to http://new.com/posts/id, so hopefully not too hairy. Does anyone have any good/bad experiences with these different approaches or have any comments on ...

Hi, I am working on a Ruby on Rails app that communicates with RackSpace cloudfiles (similar to Amazon S3 but lacking some features). Due to the lack of the availability of per-object access permissions and query string authentication, downloads to users have to be mediated through an application. In Rails 2.3, it looks like you can ...

My question is this, how can I share my plugins among multiple applications in thi...
