But I don't think the changes are all merged in the master repository. As I said to Dmitrii via twitter I'm interested in trying to port webmachine on top of ewgi for a project I'm working on, so I'll look into this at the benning of the year.

I don't think you can use EWGI with webmachine - it's more of a 'full stack' in that it provides access to the request, headers, and allows you to build the response with it's own API. Webmachine is great - very powerful tool but it's got it's own philosophy and it only runs w/mochiweb - if you want to write the equivalent of Rack::Bug (an excellent debugging Rack middleware component for Ruby's Rack), you would need to write a custom version to work with webmachine as far as I can tell. Honestly i haven't used webmachine yet but it's on the list of rainy day projects.... Yes your’s and Rusty’s critiques of EWGI’s limitations are valid.

I have been thinking of writing a web-serving application using Mochiweb and Webmachine as software to build upon. Creating a web-server done through the unix philosophy where each component does one task well. Where my software would come in and create on top of mochiweb and webmachine the ability to create virtual hosts and serve content. Is EWGI something akin to this?
