Status Dogs Build Status

Rack middleware replacing responses with relevant pictures of dogs, based on the status code.

The pictures are made/collected by Mike Lee on HTTP Status Dogs.

This is a shameless fork of status_cats by Iain Hecker.

Usage

Install:

gem install status_dogs

Place inside your rackup file:

require 'status_dogs'
use StatusDogs

This will also replace valid responses, even 200, basically making your application useless.

You can manage which status codes should be replaced with dogs, by using the :only and :except options, which take arrays or ranges.

use StatusDogs, :only => [ 403, 404, 500 ]

# or ...

use StatusDogs, :except => 200...300

Development

Install dependencies:

bundle install

Run tests:

rake

You can run the demo application:

bundle exec rackup

The application will trigger the response code depending on the path you visit, so visiting http://localhost:9292/418 will respond with a teapot.

Known issues

Status codes 100 (Continue), 204 (No Content) and 304 (Not Modified) cannot have a response body. Triggering them will cause Rack to throw up.
