Mongrel is a small library providing a very fast and reliable HTTP server for Ruby applications, especially Rails. Mongrel is the latest and best Ruby on Rails acceleration technology. Mongrel uses straight HTTP to communicate with other servers. It is able to perform so quickly because of its use of a Ragel extension which provides speedy and accurate HTTP parsing.
