Classic ASP

Playing around with classic ASP and implementing things like Rack and Sinatra on top of it ... cause ... I dunno ... too many beers?

Do Not Try This At Home!

I implemented:

• the very basics of Rack (calling apps)
• very basic Sinatra routing
• insanely basic ORM for CRUD operations
• getting a few Rails-esque routes to work

Installation

To get up and running, you just need to configure IIS to call a URL on 404, eg. "/index.asp"

Copy index.asp from this repository to your website, using the same name that you specified in your 404 URL so all 404s will be redirected to the index.asp file.

Create an app.js file. This is your actual application, eg.

Response.Write("Hello World!");

If you download rack.js and put it in your website directory, then you can write:

req(uire('rack'));

run(do {
  return [200, {}, ["Hello from Rack!"]];
});

rack.js actually also has some dependencies so you're safer downloading the whole repository (the rack and util directories, at the very least).

Checkout the spec directory to see some example Rack/Sinatra/Rails applications as well as examples of using the database ORM.
