HTTP server toolkit

WEBrick is an HTTP server toolkit that can be configured as an HTTPS server, a proxy server, and a virtual-host server. WEBrick features complete logging of both server operations and HTTP access. WEBrick supports both basic and digest authentication in addition to algorithms not in RFC 2617. A WEBrick server can be composed of multiple WEBrick servers or servlets to provide differing behavior on a per-host or per-path basis. WEBrick includes servlets for handling CGI scripts, ERB pages, Ruby blocks and directory listings. WEBrick also includes tools for daemonizing a process and starting a process at a higher privilege level and dropping permissions.
