rack-bouncer

A Rack middleware that expels undesirable browsers out of your website. This project lovingly extends the rack-noie6 gem.

gem install rack-bouncer
require "rack-bouncer"

The default redirects users to Browse Happy:

use Rack::Bouncer

You can redirect users to a page in your website:

use Rack::Bouncer, :redirect => "/requirements.html"

You can redirect users to a URL as well:

use Rack::Bouncer, :redirect => "https://www.google.com/chrome"

You can specify a minimum version of Chrome like so:

use Rack::Bouncer, :minimum_chrome => 6.0

You can specify a minimum version of Firefox like so:

use Rack::Bouncer, :minimum_firefox => 3.6

You can specify a minimum version of IE like so:

use Rack::Bouncer, :minimum_ie => 6.0

You can specify a minimum version of Safari like so:

use Rack::Bouncer, :minimum_safari => 3.0

You can specify a set of safe paths:

use Rack::Bouncer, :safe_paths => ["/assets", "/feedback.html"]

I use this gem in a production Rails app and it works great. But in development, my app throws the following error whenever the Rack::Bouncer middleware is triggered:

!! Unexpected error while processing request: thread 0x1001d5258 tried to join itself

I'm using the following versions of Ruby and Rails:

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-02-18 patchlevel 334) [i686-darwin10.7.0], MBARI 0x6770, Ruby Enterprise Edition 2011.03

$ rails -v
Rails 2.3.14

If anyone has a suggestion, I'd appreciate your help.

Pull requests are very welcome. You'd be doing me a favor if you could test cover your enhancement and ensure the test suite passes before initiating a pull request.

Thanks to juliocesar, sant0sk1, wjessop, and robomc for their contributions to rack-noie6.
