While the scripts directory in Rails 4 is gone, the bin directory remains. You can get WEBrick working with an SSL certificate by editing the bin/rails script. Tested on Rails 4 and Ruby 2.1.1, installed with rbenv. Much of this is from this blog post and this Stack Overflow question. #!/usr/bin/env ruby require ‘rails/commands/server’ require … Read more
I sent a pull request on the Github repository of rack and it was accepted: https://github.com/rack/rack/commit/b487f02b13f42c5933aa42193ed4e1c0b90382d7 In a near future, we will be able to use Thin just by adding gem ‘thin’ to our Gemfile and starting app with rails s. Note that this may be a temporary measure, however. I chose Thin because Mongrel … Read more
Rails 4 (http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/security.html#default-headers) In config/application.rb: config.action_dispatch.default_headers.merge!({ ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ => ‘*’, ‘Access-Control-Request-Method’ => ‘*’ })
Following worked for me. ruby app.rb -o 0.0.0.0
It is important to develop as closely as possible to the production environment. It helps ensure that an application will work as expected when deployed into production, instead of stumbling upon bugs at runtime. This issue is alleviated with the use of Continuous Testing on a Build server that replicates the production environment. Even though … Read more
Localhost means quite literally “your local host”, usually identified by 127.0.0.1 and all traffic to that address is routed via a loopback interface. If your Web server is listening for connections on 127.0.0.1, this means that it only accepts requests coming from the same host. 0.0.0.0 means that Rails is listening on all interfaces, not … Read more
After making sure your server side firewall is open to the incoming connection on high ports (this is normally true and the default port is 3000, so you probably don’t have to do anything) you must also start the server like this: rails server -b 0.0.0.0 which binds it to the universal address.

Having the same issue here (even a year later). Under linux you have to do the following: Look for the file /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/webrick/config.rb and edit it. Replace the line :DoNotReverseLookup => nil, with :DoNotReverseLookup => true, Restart webrick and it’ll work like a charm 🙂
Try jekyll serve –host=0.0.0.0 when you invoke Jekyll on the command line. That will make Jekyll’s HTTP server bind to all available IPs, rather than just to localhost. You can also add this to your _config.yml with host: 0.0.0.0. GitHub will simply ignore this when you push, so it’s safe to use if you don’t … Read more
A couple important reasons it’s written in Ruby (see http://github.com/ruby/ruby/tree/trunk/lib/webrick) Edited it doesn’t have many features that a production website usually needs, like multiple workers (in particular, pre-forking, life cycle management, asynchronous handling, etc), redirects, rewriting, etc When I mention redirects/rewrites, I’m referring to the fact that using Webrick, you have to handle rewrites at … Read more
