• How to safely let users run arbitrary Ruby code?

  - by igul222

  I realize this sounds a little crazy, but I'm working on a project for which I need a server to run user-provided Ruby code and return the result. I'm looking to prevent something like this: system("rm -rf /") eval("something_evil") # etc... I'm sure there must be some reasonably safe way to do this, as it already exists at places like tryruby.org. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

• In Ruby on Rails, why http://localhost:3000/foobars/alt/1.xml not work?

  - by Jian Lin

  In Ruby on Rails, http://localhost:3000/foobars/alt/1 works but http://localhost:3000/foobars/alt/1.xml doesn't work. config/route.rb is map.connect ':controller/:action/:id' map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' so supposedly it supports an id.format in the URL?

  - by Jian Lin

So if FastCGI is a viable solution, why is it not reliable with RoR? Does FastCGI work well with most any language / frameworks?

• Pull news from an RDF Feed using Ruby and Nokogiri?

  I would like to pull the titleand description fields from the newsfeed at http://www.tagesschau.de/newsticker.rdf to feed them to the Mac's Text-to-Speech engine. My search for a nice Ruby Gem to do this has brought me to Nokogiri, but all examples that "pull something out" of a given XML seem to be centered around CSS somehow.

• How to emulate PHPs preg_split in ruby to capture offsets and delimiters?

  - by dimus

  I wonder if there is a way to get offsets and delimiters while I am splitting a string in ruby analagous to PHP preg_split: preg_split("/( |&nbsp;|<|>|\t|\n|\r|;|\.)/i", $html_string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE|PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE); I imagine I can achieve it by traversing string by characters or using something heavy as treetop, but I would like to use something more convenient.

• Why so many ASP.NET programmers play with Ruby on Rails after working hours?

  I saw that on so many blogs. Lots of the people that were dealing with ASP.NET tend to play with Ruby on Rails after working hours. And It is just a matter of last one or two years. Why is it like that? Is it because when ASP.NET MVC showed up people become more open-minded - having joy with programming again they realize that some other folks had that many years ago, and they do not want to miss what they currently have?
