Could the appended file be added to the Ruby distribution as
lib/webrick/testing.rb? It's currently there as
test/xmlrpc/webrick_testing.rb.

I think it's quite useful to test webrick servlets without the need for
mock objects.

Regards,

Michael

Hi,

I think it's quite useful to test webrick servlets without the need for
mock objects.

Hmm, fork is a pain for Windows users
However, I understand the needs of a simple method to
start/stop WEBrick. It will be happy if it's replaced by
IO.popen.
