To learn Camping I wrote an application to create small urls like the
Rails based urltea.com or rubyurl.com. Here's the cute link:
http://hurl.it/
If you use Hurl and find a flaw please let me know. It responds to
application/xml so you could incorporate Hurl as a service in another
application.
I open sourced Hurl in case you are interested in writing a Camping
application or have suggestions for me about its Ruby code.
Some things you might find interesting in the background of Hurl is a
discussion of rolling your own SysV init.d scripts for Ruby
applications. Testing a Camping application with Mosquito. Tuning
ActiveRecord backed by MySQL to use the MyISAM engine for performance.
An implementation of a base 62 number.
