Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

scottwillson / Tsung Rails authenticity_token
Created January 30, 2013 21:07
If you're using Tsung to test a Rails site that has CSRF protection, Tsung needs to parse the authenticity_token and submit it when POSTing. I could only find outdated examples. The snippet below works.
<request>
<dyn_variable name="authenticity_token" ></dyn_variable>
<http url="/registrations/new" version="1.1" method="GET"></http>
</request>
<request subst="true">
<http url="/registrations" method="POST" version="1.1"
contents="authenticity_token=%%_authenticity_token%%&amp;first_name=Jane"/>
</request>

Passing Blocks to Rails partials
<%
#
# I originally needed to create a sidebar partial that had a div area where I could place custom links into. Finally found it.
# When I was trying to figure this out before and realized I needed to pass the view into :layout, rather than just using render 'layout'. Not sure why the block can't be passed otherwise but nonetheless...

# Description: Simple demo to showcase Redis PubSub with EventMachine
#
# Update 7 Oct 2010:
# - This example does *not* appear to work with Chrome >=6.0. Apparently,
# the WebSocket protocol implementation in the cramp gem does not work
# well with Chrome's (newer) WebSocket implementation.

# Requirements:
# - rubygems: eventmachine, thin, cramp, sinatra, yajl-ruby
