[ANN] emongrel2 - mongrel2 erlang toolkit

Dear list,

I wrote a small collection of erlang modules that simplify working
with erlang end mongrel2.

The idea behind the library is to exploit the mongrel2 handler
communication protocol in two ways: being able to use existing
mongrel2 handlers directly from erlang and implement mongrel2 handlers
in erlang.

This opens the opportunity to use mongrel2 handlers for applications
that aren't necessarily exposed via http protocol while still
emulating a compatible interface, it's also possible to build erlang
mongrel2 handlers that are able to forward/modify request and
responses flowing between mongrel2 servers and other handlers.

The library is currently in early stage and I'm looking for feedback
and thoughts about it, it can be found at
https://github.com/hungryblank/emongrel2

Thanks,

Paolo

Neato, how ready is this for announcing?  I can put it on the mongrel2
main page as one of the languages.

I just added a couple of examples and I think that it's now ready to
be announced.

Thanks,

Hey Paolo, I'm going to update the site tomorrow.  Can you give me the
specifics for the update?

Hi Zed,

It's unclear to me what you mean by specifics but

here's a tagline for the project:

emongrel2 is a small library that simplifies writing mongrel2
compatible servers in erlang and implementing mongrel2 handlers in
erlang.

Examples for connecting erlang to a mongrel2 handler and building a
mongrel2 handler in erlang are provided in the git repo itself

https://github.com/hungryblank/emongrel2/tree/master/examples

Main url for the project is

https://github.com/hungryblank/emongrel2

I hope that this satisfies your request.

Thanks,

Paolo

The library is functional, I'd just like to add a couple of examples
to help people getting started with it.
I'll post again when I'm done with the examples.
