The rdocs suggest otherwise:

"You can use the ServerSide::Application and ServerSide::Controller 
classes to create dynamic web applications. The ServerSide framework 
also lets you route requests based on any attribute of incoming 
requests, such as host name, path, URL parameters etc."


Sadly for me, though, serverside does not run on Win32.  It expects 
fork.  And has this bit of hackery, in daemon.rb:

   STDIN.reopen "/dev/null"
   STDOUT.reopen "/dev/null", "a"

Some mods are called for ...
