[Coquelicot] Coquelicot 0.9 (initial release)

[Lunar]

Hi Rainbows' folks!

I would like to announce the first release (dubbed 0.9) of Coquelicot
(that was last mentioned on this list February, 2012).

Coquelicot is a simple "one-click" file sharing web application specific
focus on protecting users' privacy. For the full list of features, please
head over to the README: <http://coquelicot.potager.org/README>

Coquelicot leverages Rainbows! ability to bend Rack specification and
not have a 'rewindable input' to directly stream uploaded data to an
encrypted file. In order to do this, the multipart form data is handled
as bytes arrive using the 'multipart-parser' gem and a small ad-hoc
EDSL to describe how to process the various fields.

If you want to have a look at the code, head over to
Coquelicot::Rack::Upload:
<https://coquelicot.potager.org/gitweb/?p=coquelicot.git;a=blob;f=lib/coquelicot/rack/upload.rb;hb=HEAD>
and Coquelicot::Rack::MultipartParser:
<https://coquelicot.potager.org/gitweb/?p=coquelicot.git;a=blob;f=lib/coquelicot/rack/multipart_parser.rb;hb=HEAD>

Because Coquelicot is so tied to this Rainbows! specific feature, it
embeds server startup and shutdown. See Coquelicot::App#start! and
#stop! around:
<https://coquelicot.potager.org/gitweb/?p=coquelicot.git;a=blob;f=lib/coquelicot/app.rb;hb=HEAD#l113>

Another interesting trick that might interest some reader is AGPL
support: the application can dynamically provide its source code by
producing a Gem on the fly. See 'get /source' around:
<https://coquelicot.potager.org/gitweb/?p=coquelicot.git;a=blob;f=lib/coquelicot/app.rb;hb=HEAD#l298>

The whole application is covered by 280 RSpec tests and is been running
in production with the current form handling for a year. Source code and
documentation is available at: <https://coquelicot.potager.org/>

Comments would be highly appreciated, of course. :)

Cheers,
