#!/usr/bin/env ruby require "webrick" =begin WEBrick is a Ruby library that makes it easy to build an HTTP server with Ruby. It comes with most installations of Ruby by default (it’s part of the standard library), so you can usually create a basic web/HTTP server with only several lines of code. The following code creates a generic WEBrick server on the local machine on port 1234, shuts the server down if the process is interrupted (often done with Ctrl+C). This example lets you call the URL's: "add" and "subtract" and pass through arguments to them Example usage: http://localhost:1234/ (this will show the specified error message) http://localhost:1234/add?a=10&b=10 http://localhost:1234/subtract?a=10&b=9 =end class MyNormalClass def self.add (a, b) a.to_i + b.to_i end def self.subtract (a, b) a.to_i - b.to_i end end class MyServlet < WEBrick::HTTPServlet::AbstractServlet def do_GET (request, response) if request.query["a"] && request.query["b"] a = request.query["a"] b = request.query["b"] response.status = 200 response.content_type = "text/plain" result = nil case request.path when "/add" result = MyNormalClass.add(a, b) when "/subtract" result = MyNormalClass.subtract(a, b) else result = "No such method" end response.body = result.to_s + "\n" else response.status = 200 response.body = "You did not provide the correct parameters" end end end server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port => 1234) server.mount "/", MyServlet trap("INT") { server.shutdown } server.start
