Thank you for giving me comments. Although I know the name, I have
not used it yet. I hear Mongrel is much faster than WEBrick. OTOH,
however, I also hear WEBrick is slow because it follows the
specification of HTTP, while Mongrel does not do the job. Since I
myself have not used it yet, I'll have to examine Mongrel with my own
eyes.

Thanks,
