Mongrel not being stopped with CTRL-C under Windows
Because of the way Rack::Handler::Mongrel instantiates the Mongrel::HttpHandler, it becomes impossible to shutdown the server with CTRL-C unless one actually enters CTRL-C and then hits the (still running) server.
This seems to be a Windows-only issue.
Attached is a patch which fixes this issue. This solution comes from the Mongrel gem source code.

James Herdman- Tag changed from 2.3-rc1, mongrel, rack, server, windows to 2.3.2, mongrel, rack, server, windows
May I suggest submitting this patch to the Rack team? It might be more applicable there.

mkosmaRunning rails via gem 2.3.2. (Also have installed the gem for mongrel 1.1.5, but I take it that appears elsewhere.) I can confirm the problematic behavior described, and confirm that this patch fixes the silly mongrel.
I manually applied the patch by adding the two new lines (trap & sleeper_thread) to mongrel.rb in c:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\actionpack-2.3.2\lib\action_controller\vendor\rack-1.0\rack\handler>.
There must be a better way to manage patches like this. Googled a ton but found no answer that made sense. Do I need to get off the gems and start using git? freeze rails 2.3.2?
Thoughts appreciated, or better yet a link as this is probably the wrong place for this question.

I think this only affects the very old VS 6.0 builds, though?
The bug is actually in IO blocking in the ruby interpreter itself.
Update your compiler and interpreter, and the issue should go away.
Can anyone confirm this (I'm relatively sure)?

Charles RoperAccording to Luis Lavena, maintainer of RubyInstaller on Windows, this problem isn't related to the compiler. I can confirm the issue is still present on the newer mingw builds.
Here's a thread discussing it:
