After seen a small webservers in Perl and Ruby here is my try with using Mongrel :

Start an webserver on all interfaces (0.0.0.0), port 3002, serving static pages from ./html/ directory:

require 'mongrel'

config = Mongrel::Configurator.new :host => "0.0.0.0", :port => 3002 do
  listener { uri "/", :handler => Mongrel::DirHandler.new("html/") }
  trap("INT") { stop }
  run
end

config.join

And with adding some statistics (on http://.../status/ URL):

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'mongrel'
require 'yaml'

stats = Mongrel::StatisticsFilter.new(:sample_rate => 1)

config = Mongrel::Configurator.new :host => "0.0.0.0", :port => 3002 do
  listener do
    uri "/", :handler => Mongrel::DirHandler.new("html/")
    uri "/", :handler => stats
    uri "/status", :handler => Mongrel::StatusHandler.new(:stats_filter => stats)
  end

  trap("INT") { stop }
  run
end

puts "Mongrel running on 0.0.0.0:3002 with docroot ./html/" 
config.join

I’m using it for serving static pages, generated with Rote – pretty fast ;)
