[Mongrel] Multiple DocRoots

[Todd Fisher]

Ah yes, here's the solution I landed on =>

require 'mongrel/handlers.rb'

class MultipleDirHandler < Mongrel::DirHandler
  # check in each folder for the file
  def initialize(*path)
    @paths = path
    super(@paths[0])
  end

  # check each folder
  def can_serve(path_info)
    @paths.each do|path|
      @path = File.expand_path(path) # to allow RAILS_ROOT
      ret = super(path_info)
      return ret unless ret.nil?
    end
    @path = @paths[0]
    return nil
  end

end


Working really well.   Thank you!
