I have problems on Windows as well.

Here's what I've done (in the 0.24 gems code):

In file lib/nitro/cgi.rb, changed


context.headers = cgi.env
  to
context.headers = ENV

And in file lib/nitro/adapter/cgi.rb, I have

   Cgi.process(server, cgi, cgi, cgi)


I *think* this use to be CgiUtils.process.  I forgot to track all my 
changes.

So this gets me further.  But when I run a minimal app created by 
'nitrogen app', I get errors in Nitro::Controller about index_action 
missing.

And then the same sort of stuff for error_action.

My run.rb is this:


#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'nitro'

Nitro.run


So it seems the default controller knows nothing about index.  But I've 
yet to hear of anyone else mention this, so perhaps this is just a 
side-effect of my CGI changes.  Or no one is running the default run.rb 
file.

If I try this:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'nitro'

class MainController < Nitro::Controller
   def index
   end
end

Nitro.run( MainController )

then I just get a blank page, although there is an index.xhtml file in 
/public.


And this simply works:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'rubygems'
require_gem 'nitro', '<0.24.0'
Nitro.run


Maybe I just need to replace the 0.24 cgi.rb files with those from 0.23?
