ruby httpd/cgi server for a directory

Jim

Hello,

I have a set of ruby scripts I run manually from the command line. I'd
like to put a simple web front-end to them and use them as cgi scripts.
I also want to be able to keep them on a USB stick and run them
anywhere Ruby is installed. All config files and generated data will be
read and written to the directory.

Which is the best/easiest to use: webrick, lighttpd, mongrel, or
something else?

Thanks

Yep, webrick's the way to go there. That way no extra software is
installed.

Well, I can't seem to get this to work. Any suggestions?
====
server.rb:
====
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
require 'webrick'
include WEBrick

s = HTTPServer.new(
:Port => 2000,
:DocumentRoot => Dir::pwd
)

trap("INT"){ s.shutdown }
s.start

=====
test.cgi: (in same sirectory as server.rb)
====
#!c:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe
#
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"

puts "Hi"
====

I get


Internal Server Error
Premature end of script headers: E:/directory/test.cgi
WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/1.8.4/2006-04-14) at localhost:2000
