Re: A strategy for Mongrel.

I think a good Ragel generator is a great project in itself, but in order to get mongrel working in Java all we really need is a good library to provide the equivalent HTTP parsing. As Ragel becomes more prevalent/popular, I'm sure we'll start seeing generators for Java too. So when you say you're just rewriting the parser, you mean you're just writing a JavaCC-compatible spec we can use to generate a fast HTTP parser?

Hi,

Is Mongrel still on the to-do list? I've been looking into the Ragel source file http11_parser.rl. Unfortunately, the Ragel definitions are not very similar to what you can put into JavaCC. Besides, there's some C code in the original .rl file that is included in the generated output from Ragel, making a direct 1-on-1 conversion from the .rl file rather difficult. So I set about rewriting the parser in JavaCC. I've got a first version ready, but I'll add some extensive unit tests in the following week. Just to let you know...
