port sbsm/steinwies.ch to use the rack webserver. Fix handling POST requests

Also the preserve the session, but cannot open the DrbConnection anymore. Why?

Looking at https://github.com/dcadenas/rubydeps to generate class diagrams to more easily compare old and new sbsm versions.

Did not find a library that produces a nice dependency, that I could minimize to exctract the important classes.

Resuming the problem, after my changes I cannot find anymore the drb. With the currently pushed branches rack of sbsm I start in two session bundle exec bin/steinwies and bundle exec rackup. Then I visit http://localhost:8004 and with the help of pry I get

 bundle exec rackup

The local variable server_uri is correct #<URI::Generic druby://localhost:10001>.

Zeno pointed me to https://gist.github.com/kuboon/724834954d3345798054, which seems to have solved a very similar problem. Must analys what the Rack::RewindableInput is and how the CGIHandler in the above example works.

I think it might be a good idea to test steinwies/sbsm by creating a test, where we increment the counter in the remote DRbServer. This might be also part of the missing test-app for completing the SBSM unit tests.

Reading http://www.anchor.com.au/hosting/dedicated/Running-Rails-2.3-Using-CGI-with-Rack which gives some explanation of the differences between CGI (as done via mod_ruby) and the Rack/Webrick approach. But shouldn't we get rid of the CGI completely? But how?

I think I can safely remove the file lib/cgi/drb_session.rb as it not used anywhere.

Started working on steinwies.ch/bin/simple, which should be a very simply example. It will increment a counter and display the requested path (may be later on also the cookie).

Created simple_config.ru, bin/simple and src/util/simple_app.rb. Now bin/simple and rackup simple_config.ru, but I do not see yet a call into the Drb-Process launched by bin/simple. This was expected. Pushed commit Added simple-app to test for DRb. Cookies/DRb not recognized

Now first adding preserving of session, then connecting to the DrbProcess. Done with commit Simple example with a working DRb and session.

Now the whole class structure is quite different. The DRbServer only works because it is no longer derived from the simple delegator. Is this a disadvantage? Or was it derived to avoid memory leaks present in Ruby and its classes around 2005 when the gem was developed?

When looking at the output bin/simple I can easily trace the two sesssion (one from chromium, the other one with firefox), where I visited a few place:

bundle exec bin/simple 
Starting druby://localhost:18999

The output of rackup simple_config.ru show the few parts I passed through my code

Remove the Rack::Session::Pool, which I think we do not need at the moment with commit Got rid of Rack::Session::Pool

Made the display nicer and verifying that we really use DRb to access a different linux process. Now the output of http://localhost:8888/test810 looks like this

simple_app.rb:55 DRbPid 19306
request: #<Rack::Request:0x000000021b7c20> path: /test810 id: 0.9403210530719527
Passthrough (WebRick PID) is 20135
@@counter is 4
session_id is 0.9403210530719527

Now removing the simple implementations for SBSM in simple_app.rb and replacing it with (possibly modified) classes from SBSM. Now I am beginning to understand. I must find the used session via a call to @app[session_id] and calling process for the returned session. Now my simple_app complains, because no validator is given.

Adaptation continued. Now I am asking myself about how the DRbObjects are handled in the procedure call(env)

      puts "result is #{result.inspect} session_id #{session_id}"
      puts DRbObject.new_with_uri(SERVER_URI).to_s
      puts session.to_s
      # @proxy = DRbObject.new_with_uri(SERVER_URI)
      @proxy =  DRbObject.new(session, SERVER_URI)
      puts @proxy.to_s
      session.drb_process self # das läuft
      res = @proxy.drb_process(self) # das nicht
results in the following output
result is "" session_id 0.831724324438134 WebRick has pid 4602

In my previous stub implementation of SBSM::DrbServer I had removed the inheritance from SimpleDelegator and my code worked. Now I readded it again and I am still getting the same error. Pushing my changes for steinwies and sbsm.
