HealthCheck

This will add a basic health check to your ruby Application. Given a request to '/health_check' it should return a basic 200.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rack_health_check'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install health_check

The Rails railtie will handle everything else.

Once installed hit /health_check and it should start returning a 200

curl -I 'http://localhost:3000/health_check' | grep HTTP
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

In a non-rails environment simply add RackHealthCheck::Middleware to your middlewares

I would like to add multiple health checks that check different things.
