Hmm..., I must have explained how WEBrick works.
WEBrick works with servlets which determine what they do when accessed
by clients. A servlet is implemented as an instance of a subclass of
WEBrick::HTTPServlet::AbstractServlet. http://www.webrick.org/ has
some examples of servlets and here is one (sorry, this is an example
far from Subversion):
[[[
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
require 'webrick'
include WEBrick
s = HTTPServer.new( :Port => 2000 )
# HTTPServer#mount(path, servletclass)
# When a request referring "/hello" is received,
# the HTTPServer get an instance of servletclass
# and then call a method named do_"a HTTP method".
class HelloServlet < HTTPServlet::AbstractServlet
def do_GET(req, res)
res.body = "<HTML>hello, world.</HTML>"
res['Content-Type'] = "text/html"
end
end
s.mount("/hello", HelloServlet)
# HTTPServer#mount_proc(path){|req, res| ...}
# You can mount also a block by `mount_proc'.
# This block is called when GET or POST.
s.mount_proc("/hello/again"){|req, res|
res.body = "<HTML>hello (again)</HTML>"
res['Content-Type'] = "text/html"
}
trap("INT"){ s.shutdown }
s.start
]]]

This was another future story: story on creating a plug-in for Ruby on
Rails that use the servlet. Only creating the servlet cannot do the
job. Sorry for my wrong explanation... If Subversion servlet for
WEBrick is available and the plugin also available, other webapp can
use that plug-in and the servlet to access Subversion. However, as
Malcolm says, this story is too big and must not be included in the
proposal.
