+# Sinatra
+
+Sinatra is a [DSL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language) for
+quickly creating web applications in Ruby with minimal effort:
+
+```ruby
+# myapp.rb
+require 'sinatra'
+
+get '/' do
+  'Hello world!'
+end
+```
+
+Install the gem:
+
+```shell
+gem install sinatra
+```
+
+And run with:
+
+```shell
+ruby myapp.rb
+```
+
+View at: [http://localhost:4567](http://localhost:4567)
+
+It is recommended to also run `gem install thin`, which Sinatra will
+pick up if available.

+## Routes
+
+In Sinatra, a route is an HTTP method paired with a URL-matching pattern.
+Each route is associated with a block:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  .. show something ..
+end
+
+post '/' do
+  .. create something ..
+end
+
+put '/' do
+  .. replace something ..
+end
+
+patch '/' do
+  .. modify something ..
+end
+
+delete '/' do
+  .. annihilate something ..
+end
+
+options '/' do
+  .. appease something ..
+end
+
+link '/' do
+  .. affiliate something ..
+end
+
+unlink '/' do
+  .. separate something ..
+end
+```
+
+Routes are matched in the order they are defined. The first route that
+matches the request is invoked.
+
+Route patterns may include named parameters, accessible via the
+`params` hash:
+
+```ruby
+get '/hello/:name' do
+  # matches "GET /hello/foo" and "GET /hello/bar"
+  # params['name'] is 'foo' or 'bar'
+  "Hello #{params['name']}!"
+end
+```
+
+You can also access named parameters via block parameters:
+
+```ruby
+get '/hello/:name' do |n|
+  # matches "GET /hello/foo" and "GET /hello/bar"
+  # params['name'] is 'foo' or 'bar'
+  # n stores params['name']
+  "Hello #{n}!"
+end
+```
+
+Route patterns may also include splat (or wildcard) parameters, accessible
+via the `params['splat']` array:
+
+```ruby
+get '/say/*/to/*' do
+  # matches /say/hello/to/world
+  params['splat'] # => ["hello", "world"]
+end
+
+get '/download/*.*' do
+  # matches /download/path/to/file.xml
+  params['splat'] # => ["path/to/file", "xml"]
+end
+```
+
+Or with block parameters:
+
+```ruby
+get '/download/*.*' do |path, ext|
+  [path, ext] # => ["path/to/file", "xml"]
+end
+```
+
+Route matching with Regular Expressions:
+
+```ruby
+get /\A\/hello\/([\w]+)\z/ do
+  "Hello, #{params['captures'].first}!"
+end
+```
+
+Or with a block parameter:
+
+```ruby
+get %r{/hello/([\w]+)} do |c|
+  # Matches "GET /meta/hello/world", "GET /hello/world/1234" etc.
+  "Hello, #{c}!"
+end
+```
+
+Route patterns may have optional parameters:
+
+```ruby
+get '/posts/:format?' do
+  # matches "GET /posts/" and any extension "GET /posts/json", "GET /posts/xml" etc
+end
+```
+
+Routes may also utilize query parameters:
+
+```ruby
+get '/posts' do
+  # matches "GET /posts?title=foo&author=bar"
+  title = params['title']
+  author = params['author']
+  # uses title and author variables; query is optional to the /posts route
+end
+```
+
+By the way, unless you disable the path traversal attack protection (see below),
+the request path might be modified before matching against your routes.
+
+## Conditions
+
+Routes may include a variety of matching conditions, such as the user agent:
+
+```ruby
+get '/foo', :agent => /Songbird (\d\.\d)[\d\/]*?/ do
+  "You're using Songbird version #{params['agent'][0]}"
+end
+
+get '/foo' do
+  # Matches non-songbird browsers
+end
+```
+
+Other available conditions are `host_name` and `provides`:
+
+```ruby
+get '/', :host_name => /^admin\./ do
+  "Admin Area, Access denied!"
+end
+
+get '/', :provides => 'html' do
+  haml :index
+end
+
+get '/', :provides => ['rss', 'atom', 'xml'] do
+  builder :feed
+end
+```
+`provides` searches the request's Accept header.
+
+You can easily define your own conditions:
+
+```ruby
+set(:probability) { |value| condition { rand <= value } }
+
+get '/win_a_car', :probability => 0.1 do
+  "You won!"
+end
+
+get '/win_a_car' do
+  "Sorry, you lost."
+end
+```
+
+For a condition that takes multiple values use a splat:
+
+```ruby
+set(:auth) do |*roles|   # <- notice the splat here
+  condition do
+    unless logged_in? && roles.any? {|role| current_user.in_role? role }
+      redirect "/login/", 303
+    end
+  end
+end
+
+get "/my/account/", :auth => [:user, :admin] do
+  "Your Account Details"
+end
+
+get "/only/admin/", :auth => :admin do
+  "Only admins are allowed here!"
+end
+```
+
+## Return Values
+
+The return value of a route block determines at least the response body passed
+on to the HTTP client, or at least the next middleware in the Rack stack.
+Most commonly, this is a string, as in the above examples. But other values are
+also accepted.
+
+You can return any object that would either be a valid Rack response, Rack
+body object or HTTP status code:
+
+* An Array with three elements: `[status (Fixnum), headers (Hash), response
+  body (responds to #each)]`
+* An Array with two elements: `[status (Fixnum), response body (responds to
+  #each)]`
+* An object that responds to `#each` and passes nothing but strings to
+  the given block
+* A Fixnum representing the status code
+
+That way we can, for instance, easily implement a streaming example:
+
+```ruby
+class Stream
+  def each
+    100.times { |i| yield "#{i}\n" }
+  end
+end
+
+get('/') { Stream.new }
+```
+
+You can also use the `stream` helper method (described below) to reduce boiler
+plate and embed the streaming logic in the route.
+
+## Custom Route Matchers
+
+As shown above, Sinatra ships with built-in support for using String patterns
+and regular expressions as route matches. However, it does not stop there. You
+can easily define your own matchers:
+
+```ruby
+class AllButPattern
+  Match = Struct.new(:captures)
+
+  def initialize(except)
+    @except   = except
+    @captures = Match.new([])
+  end
+
+  def match(str)
+    @captures unless @except === str
+  end
+end
+
+def all_but(pattern)
+  AllButPattern.new(pattern)
+end
+
+get all_but("/index") do
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+Note that the above example might be over-engineered, as it can also be
+expressed as:
+
+```ruby
+get // do
+  pass if request.path_info == "/index"
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+Or, using negative look ahead:
+
+```ruby
+get %r{^(?!/index$)} do
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+## Static Files
+
+Static files are served from the `./public` directory. You can specify
+a different location by setting the `:public_folder` option:
+
+```ruby
+set :public_folder, File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/static'
+```
+
+Note that the public directory name is not included in the URL. A file
+`./public/css/style.css` is made available as
+`http://example.com/css/style.css`.
+
+Use the `:static_cache_control` setting (see below) to add
+`Cache-Control` header info.
+
+## Views / Templates
+
+Each template language is exposed via its own rendering method. These
+methods simply return a string:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  erb :index
+end
+```
+
+This renders `views/index.erb`.
+
+Instead of a template name, you can also just pass in the template content
+directly:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  code = "<%= Time.now %>"
+  erb code
+end
+```
+
+Templates take a second argument, the options hash:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  erb :index, :layout => :post
+end
+```
+
+This will render `views/index.erb` embedded in the
+`views/post.erb` (default is `views/layout.erb`, if it exists).
+
+Any options not understood by Sinatra will be passed on to the template
+engine:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  haml :index, :format => :html5
+end
+```
+
+You can also set options per template language in general:
+
+```ruby
+set :haml, :format => :html5
+
+get '/' do
+  haml :index
+end
+```
+
+Options passed to the render method override options set via `set`.
+
+Available Options:
+
+<dl>
+  <dt>locals</dt>
+  <dd>
+    List of locals passed to the document. Handy with partials.
+    Example: <tt>erb "<%= foo %>", :locals => {:foo => "bar"}</tt>
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>default_encoding</dt>
+  <dd>
+    String encoding to use if uncertain. Defaults to
+    <tt>settings.default_encoding</tt>.
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>views</dt>
+  <dd>
+    Views folder to load templates from. Defaults to <tt>settings.views</tt>.
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>layout</dt>
+  <dd>
+    Whether to use a layout (<tt>true</tt> or <tt>false</tt>). If it's a
+    Symbol, specifies what template to use. Example:
+    <tt>erb :index, :layout => !request.xhr?</tt>
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>content_type</dt>
+  <dd>
+    Content-Type the template produces. Default depends on template language.
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>scope</dt>
+  <dd>
+    Scope to render template under. Defaults to the application instance. If you
+    change this, instance variables and helper methods will not be available.
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>layout_engine</dt>
+  <dd>
+    Template engine to use for rendering the layout. Useful for languages that
+    do not support layouts otherwise. Defaults to the engine used for the
+    template. Example: <tt>set :rdoc, :layout_engine => :erb</tt>
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>layout_options</dt>
+  <dd>
+    Special options only used for rendering the layout. Example:
+    <tt>set :rdoc, :layout_options => { :views => 'views/layouts' }</tt>
+  </dd>
+</dl>
+
+Templates are assumed to be located directly under the `./views` directory. To
+use a different views directory:
+
+```ruby
+set :views, settings.root + '/templates'
+```
+
+
+One important thing to remember is that you always have to reference templates
+with symbols, even if they're in a subdirectory (in this case, use:
+`:'subdir/template'` or `'subdir/template'.to_sym`). You must use a symbol
+because otherwise rendering methods will render any strings passed to them
+directly.
+
+### Literal Templates
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  haml '%div.title Hello World'
+end
+```
+
+Renders the template string.
+
+### Available Template Languages
+
+Some languages have multiple implementations. To specify what implementation
+to use (and to be thread-safe), you should simply require it first:
+
+```ruby
+require 'rdiscount' # or require 'bluecloth'
+get('/') { markdown :index }
+```
+

+  <tr>
+    <td>Example</td>
+    <td><tt>liquid :index, :locals => { :key => 'value' }</tt></td>
+  </tr>
+</table>
+
+Since you cannot call Ruby methods (except for `yield`) from a Liquid
+template, you almost always want to pass locals to it.
+
+#### Markdown Templates
+
+<table>
+  <tr>
+    <td>Dependency</td>
+    <td>
+      Anyone of:
+        <a href="https://github.com/davidfstr/rdiscount" title="RDiscount">RDiscount</a>,

+    <td>File Extensions</td>
+    <td><tt>.markdown</tt>, <tt>.mkd</tt> and <tt>.md</tt></td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td>Example</td>
+    <td><tt>markdown :index, :layout_engine => :erb</tt></td>
+  </tr>
+</table>
+
+It is not possible to call methods from markdown, nor to pass locals to it.
+You therefore will usually use it in combination with another rendering
+engine:
+
+```ruby
+erb :overview, :locals => { :text => markdown(:introduction) }
+```
+
+Note that you may also call the `markdown` method from within other templates:
+
+```ruby
+%h1 Hello From Haml!
+%p= markdown(:greetings)
+```
+
+Since you cannot call Ruby from Markdown, you cannot use layouts written in
+Markdown. However, it is possible to use another rendering engine for the
+template than for the layout by passing the `:layout_engine` option.
+
+#### Textile Templates
+
+<table>
+  <tr>
+    <td>Dependency</td>
+    <td><a href="http://redcloth.org/" title="RedCloth">RedCloth</a></td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td>File Extension</td>
+    <td><tt>.textile</tt></td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td>Example</td>
+    <td><tt>textile :index, :layout_engine => :erb</tt></td>
+  </tr>
+</table>
+
+It is not possible to call methods from textile, nor to pass locals to it. You
+therefore will usually use it in combination with another rendering engine:
+
+```ruby
+erb :overview, :locals => { :text => textile(:introduction) }
+```
+
+Note that you may also call the `textile` method from within other templates:
+
+```ruby
+%h1 Hello From Haml!
+%p= textile(:greetings)
+```
+
+Since you cannot call Ruby from Textile, you cannot use layouts written in
+Textile. However, it is possible to use another rendering engine for the
+template than for the layout by passing the `:layout_engine` option.
+
+#### RDoc Templates
+
+<table>
+  <tr>
+    <td>Dependency</td>
+    <td><a href="http://rdoc.sourceforge.net/" title="RDoc">RDoc</a></td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>

+</table>
+
+It is not possible to call methods from rdoc, nor to pass locals to it. You
+therefore will usually use it in combination with another rendering engine:

+
+Note that you may also call the `rdoc` method from within other templates:

+
+Since you cannot call Ruby from RDoc, you cannot use layouts written in
+RDoc. However, it is possible to use another rendering engine for the

+  <tr>
+    <td>Example</td>
+    <td><tt>stylus :index</tt></td>
+  </tr>
+</table>
+
+Before being able to use Stylus templates, you need to load `stylus` and
+`stylus/tilt` first:
+
+```ruby
+require 'sinatra'
+require 'stylus'
+require 'stylus/tilt'
+
+get '/' do
+  stylus :example
+end
+```
+
+#### Yajl Templates
+
+<table>
+  <tr>
+    <td>Dependency</td>
+    <td><a href="https://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby" title="yajl-ruby">yajl-ruby</a></td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td>File Extension</td>
+    <td><tt>.yajl</tt></td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td>Example</td>
+    <td>
+      <tt>
+        yajl :index,
+             :locals => { :key => 'qux' },
+             :callback => 'present',
+             :variable => 'resource'
+      </tt>
+    </td>
+  </tr>
+</table>
+
+
+The template source is evaluated as a Ruby string, and the
+resulting json variable is converted using `#to_json`:
+
+```ruby
+json = { :foo => 'bar' }
+json[:baz] = key
+```
+
+The `:callback` and `:variable` options can be used to decorate the rendered
+object:
+
+```javascript
+var resource = {"foo":"bar","baz":"qux"};
+present(resource);
+```
+
+#### WLang Templates
+
+<table>
+  <tr>
+    <td>Dependency</td>
+    <td><a href="https://github.com/blambeau/wlang/" title="WLang">WLang</a></td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td>File Extension</td>
+    <td><tt>.wlang</tt></td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td>Example</td>
+    <td><tt>wlang :index, :locals => { :key => 'value' }</tt></td>
+  </tr>
+</table>
+
+Since calling ruby methods is not idiomatic in WLang, you almost always want to
+pass locals to it. Layouts written in WLang and `yield` are supported, though.
+
+### Accessing Variables in Templates
+
+Templates are evaluated within the same context as route handlers. Instance
+variables set in route handlers are directly accessible by templates:
+
+```ruby
+get '/:id' do
+  @foo = Foo.find(params['id'])
+  haml '%h1= @foo.name'
+end
+```
+
+Or, specify an explicit Hash of local variables:
+
+```ruby
+get '/:id' do
+  foo = Foo.find(params['id'])
+  haml '%h1= bar.name', :locals => { :bar => foo }
+end
+```
+
+This is typically used when rendering templates as partials from within
+other templates.
+
+### Templates with `yield` and nested layouts
+
+A layout is usually just a template that calls `yield`.
+Such a template can be used either through the `:template` option as
+described above, or it can be rendered with a block as follows:
+
+```ruby
+erb :post, :layout => false do
+  erb :index
+end
+```
+
+This code is mostly equivalent to `erb :index, :layout => :post`.
+
+Passing blocks to rendering methods is most useful for creating nested layouts:
+
+```ruby
+erb :main_layout, :layout => false do
+  erb :admin_layout do
+    erb :user
+  end
+end
+```
+
+This can also be done in fewer lines of code with:
+
+```ruby
+erb :admin_layout, :layout => :main_layout do
+  erb :user
+end
+```
+
+Currently, the following rendering methods accept a block: `erb`, `haml`,
+`liquid`, `slim `, `wlang`. Also the general `render` method accepts a block.
+
+### Inline Templates
+
+Templates may be defined at the end of the source file:
+
+```ruby
+require 'sinatra'
+
+get '/' do
+  haml :index
+end
+
+__END__
+
+@@ layout
+%html
+  = yield
+
+@@ index
+%div.title Hello world.
+```
+
+NOTE: Inline templates defined in the source file that requires sinatra are
+automatically loaded. Call `enable :inline_templates` explicitly if you
+have inline templates in other source files.
+
+### Named Templates
+
+Templates may also be defined using the top-level `template` method:
+
+```ruby
+template :layout do
+  "%html\n  =yield\n"
+end
+
+template :index do
+  '%div.title Hello World!'
+end
+
+get '/' do
+  haml :index
+end
+```
+
+If a template named "layout" exists, it will be used each time a template
+is rendered. You can individually disable layouts by passing
+`:layout => false` or disable them by default via
+`set :haml, :layout => false`:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  haml :index, :layout => !request.xhr?
+end
+```
+
+### Associating File Extensions
+
+To associate a file extension with a template engine, use
+`Tilt.register`. For instance, if you like to use the file extension
+`tt` for Textile templates, you can do the following:
+
+```ruby
+Tilt.register :tt, Tilt[:textile]
+```
+
+### Adding Your Own Template Engine
+
+First, register your engine with Tilt, then create a rendering method:
+
+```ruby
+Tilt.register :myat, MyAwesomeTemplateEngine
+
+helpers do
+  def myat(*args) render(:myat, *args) end
+end
+
+get '/' do
+  myat :index
+end
+```
+
+Renders `./views/index.myat`. See https://github.com/rtomayko/tilt to
+learn more about Tilt.
+
+### Using Custom Logic for Template Lookup
+
+To implement your own template lookup mechanism you can write your
+own `#find_template` method:
+
+```ruby
+configure do
+  set :views [ './views/a', './views/b' ]
+end
+
+def find_template(views, name, engine, &block)
+  Array(views).each do |v|
+    super(v, name, engine, &block)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Filters
+
+Before filters are evaluated before each request within the same
+context as the routes will be and can modify the request and response. Instance
+variables set in filters are accessible by routes and templates:
+
+```ruby
+before do
+  @note = 'Hi!'
+  request.path_info = '/foo/bar/baz'
+end
+
+get '/foo/*' do
+  @note #=> 'Hi!'
+  params['splat'] #=> 'bar/baz'
+end
+```
+
+After filters are evaluated after each request within the same context as the
+routes will be and can also modify the request and response. Instance variables
+set in before filters and routes are accessible by after filters:
+
+```ruby
+after do
+  puts response.status
+end
+```
+
+Note: Unless you use the `body` method rather than just returning a String from
+the routes, the body will not yet be available in the after filter, since it is
+generated later on.
+
+Filters optionally take a pattern, causing them to be evaluated only if the
+request path matches that pattern:
+
+```ruby
+before '/protected/*' do
+  authenticate!
+end
+
+after '/create/:slug' do |slug|
+  session[:last_slug] = slug
+end
+```
+
+Like routes, filters also take conditions:
+
+```ruby
+before :agent => /Songbird/ do
+  # ...
+end
+
+after '/blog/*', :host_name => 'example.com' do
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+## Helpers
+
+Use the top-level `helpers` method to define helper methods for use in
+route handlers and templates:
+
+```ruby
+helpers do
+  def bar(name)
+    "#{name}bar"
+  end
+end
+
+get '/:name' do
+  bar(params['name'])
+end
+```
+
+Alternatively, helper methods can be separately defined in a module:
+
+```ruby
+module FooUtils
+  def foo(name) "#{name}foo" end
+end
+
+module BarUtils
+  def bar(name) "#{name}bar" end
+end
+
+helpers FooUtils, BarUtils
+```
+
+The effect is the same as including the modules in the application class.
+
+### Using Sessions
+
+A session is used to keep state during requests. If activated, you have one
+session hash per user session:
+
+```ruby
+enable :sessions
+
+get '/' do
+  "value = " << session[:value].inspect
+end
+
+get '/:value' do
+  session['value'] = params['value']
+end
+```
+
+Note that `enable :sessions` actually stores all data in a cookie. This
+might not always be what you want (storing lots of data will increase your
+traffic, for instance). You can use any Rack session middleware: in order to
+do so, do **not** call `enable :sessions`, but instead pull in your
+middleware of choice as you would any other middleware:
+
+```ruby
+use Rack::Session::Pool, :expire_after => 2592000
+
+get '/' do
+  "value = " << session[:value].inspect
+end
+
+get '/:value' do
+  session['value'] = params['value']
+end
+```
+
+To improve security, the session data in the cookie is signed with a session
+secret. A random secret is generated for you by Sinatra. However, since this
+secret will change with every start of your application, you might want to
+set the secret yourself, so all your application instances share it:
+
+```ruby
+set :session_secret, 'super secret'
+```
+
+If you want to configure it further, you may also store a hash with options in
+the `sessions` setting:
+
+```ruby
+set :sessions, :domain => 'foo.com'
+```
+
+To share your session across other apps on subdomains of foo.com, prefix the
+domain with a *.* like this instead:
+
+```ruby
+set :sessions, :domain => '.foo.com'
+```
+
+### Halting
+
+To immediately stop a request within a filter or route use:
+
+```ruby
+halt
+```
+
+You can also specify the status when halting:
+
+```ruby
+halt 410
+```
+
+Or the body:
+
+```ruby
+halt 'this will be the body'
+```
+
+Or both:
+
+```ruby
+halt 401, 'go away!'
+```
+
+With headers:
+
+```ruby
+halt 402, {'Content-Type' => 'text/plain'}, 'revenge'
+```
+
+It is of course possible to combine a template with `halt`:
+
+```ruby
+halt erb(:error)
+```
+
+### Passing
+
+A route can punt processing to the next matching route using `pass`:
+
+```ruby
+get '/guess/:who' do
+  pass unless params['who'] == 'Frank'
+  'You got me!'
+end
+
+get '/guess/*' do
+  'You missed!'
+end
+```
+
+The route block is immediately exited and control continues with the next
+matching route. If no matching route is found, a 404 is returned.
+
+### Triggering Another Route
+
+Sometimes `pass` is not what you want, instead you would like to get the result
+of calling another route. Simply use `call` to achieve this:
+
+```ruby
+get '/foo' do
+  status, headers, body = call env.merge("PATH_INFO" => '/bar')
+  [status, headers, body.map(&:upcase)]
+end
+
+get '/bar' do
+  "bar"
+end
+```
+
+Note that in the example above, you would ease testing and increase performance
+by simply moving `"bar"` into a helper used by both `/foo` and `/bar`.
+
+If you want the request to be sent to the same application instance rather than
+a duplicate, use `call!` instead of `call`.
+
+Check out the Rack specification if you want to learn more about `call`.
+
+### Setting Body, Status Code and Headers
+
+It is possible and recommended to set the status code and response body with the
+return value of the route block. However, in some scenarios you might want to
+set the body at an arbitrary point in the execution flow. You can do so with the
+`body` helper method. If you do so, you can use that method from there on to
+access the body:
+
+```ruby
+get '/foo' do
+  body "bar"
+end
+
+after do
+  puts body
+end
+```
+
+It is also possible to pass a block to `body`, which will be executed by the
+Rack handler (this can be used to implement streaming, see "Return Values").
+
+Similar to the body, you can also set the status code and headers:
+
+```ruby
+get '/foo' do
+  status 418
+  headers \
+    "Allow"   => "BREW, POST, GET, PROPFIND, WHEN",
+    "Refresh" => "Refresh: 20; http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2324.txt"
+  body "I'm a tea pot!"
+end
+```
+
+Like `body`, `headers` and `status` with no arguments can be used to access
+their current values.
+
+### Streaming Responses
+
+Sometimes you want to start sending out data while still generating parts of
+the response body. In extreme examples, you want to keep sending data until
+the client closes the connection. You can use the `stream` helper to avoid
+creating your own wrapper:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  stream do |out|
+    out << "It's gonna be legen -\n"
+    sleep 0.5
+    out << " (wait for it) \n"
+    sleep 1
+    out << "- dary!\n"
+  end
+end
+```
+
+This allows you to implement streaming APIs,
+[Server Sent Events](https://w3c.github.io/eventsource/), and can be used as
+the basis for [WebSockets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket). It can also be
+used to increase throughput if some but not all content depends on a slow
+resource.
+
+Note that the streaming behavior, especially the number of concurrent requests,
+highly depends on the web server used to serve the application. Some servers
+might not even support streaming at all. If the server does not support
+streaming, the body will be sent all at once after the block passed to `stream`
+finishes executing. Streaming does not work at all with Shotgun.
+
+If the optional parameter is set to `keep_open`, it will not call `close` on
+the stream object, allowing you to close it at any later point in the
+execution flow. This only works on evented servers, like Thin and Rainbows.
+Other servers will still close the stream:
+
+```ruby
+# long polling
+
+set :server, :thin
+connections = []
+
+get '/subscribe' do
+  # register a client's interest in server events
+  stream(:keep_open) do |out|
+    connections << out
+    # purge dead connections
+    connections.reject!(&:closed?)
+  end
+end
+
+post '/:message' do
+  connections.each do |out|
+    # notify client that a new message has arrived
+    out << params['message'] << "\n"
+
+    # indicate client to connect again
+    out.close
+  end
+
+  # acknowledge
+  "message received"
+end
+```
+
+### Logging
+
+In the request scope, the `logger` helper exposes a `Logger` instance:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  logger.info "loading data"
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+This logger will automatically take your Rack handler's logging settings into
+account. If logging is disabled, this method will return a dummy object, so
+you do not have to worry about it in your routes and filters.
+
+Note that logging is only enabled for `Sinatra::Application` by default, so if
+you inherit from `Sinatra::Base`, you probably want to enable it yourself:
+
+```ruby
+class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
+  configure :production, :development do
+    enable :logging
+  end
+end
+```
+
+To avoid any logging middleware to be set up, set the `logging` setting to
+`nil`. However, keep in mind that `logger` will in that case return `nil`. A
+common use case is when you want to set your own logger. Sinatra will use
+whatever it will find in `env['rack.logger']`.
+
+### Mime Types
+
+When using `send_file` or static files you may have mime types Sinatra
+doesn't understand. Use `mime_type` to register them by file extension:
+
+```ruby
+configure do
+  mime_type :foo, 'text/foo'
+end
+```
+
+You can also use it with the `content_type` helper:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  content_type :foo
+  "foo foo foo"
+end
+```
+
+### Generating URLs
+
+For generating URLs you should use the `url` helper method, for instance, in
+Haml:
+
+```ruby
+%a{:href => url('/foo')} foo
+```
+
+It takes reverse proxies and Rack routers into account, if present.
+
+This method is also aliased to `to` (see below for an example).
+
+### Browser Redirect
+
+You can trigger a browser redirect with the `redirect` helper method:
+
+```ruby
+get '/foo' do
+  redirect to('/bar')
+end
+```
+
+Any additional parameters are handled like arguments passed to `halt`:
+
+```ruby
+redirect to('/bar'), 303
+redirect 'http://www.google.com/', 'wrong place, buddy'
+```
+
+You can also easily redirect back to the page the user came from with
+`redirect back`:
+
+```ruby
+get '/foo' do
+  "<a href='/bar'>do something</a>"
+end
+
+get '/bar' do
+  do_something
+  redirect back
+end
+```
+
+To pass arguments with a redirect, either add them to the query:
+
+```ruby
+redirect to('/bar?sum=42')
+```
+
+Or use a session:
+
+```ruby
+enable :sessions
+
+get '/foo' do
+  session[:secret] = 'foo'
+  redirect to('/bar')
+end
+
+get '/bar' do
+  session[:secret]
+end
+```
+
+### Cache Control
+
+Setting your headers correctly is the foundation for proper HTTP caching.
+
+You can easily set the Cache-Control header like this:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  cache_control :public
+  "cache it!"
+end
+```
+
+Pro tip: Set up caching in a before filter:
+
+```ruby
+before do
+  cache_control :public, :must_revalidate, :max_age => 60
+end
+```
+
+If you are using the `expires` helper to set the corresponding header,
+`Cache-Control` will be set automatically for you:
+
+```ruby
+before do
+  expires 500, :public, :must_revalidate
+end
+```
+
+To properly use caches, you should consider using `etag` or `last_modified`.
+It is recommended to call those helpers *before* doing any heavy lifting, as
+they will immediately flush a response if the client already has the current
+version in its cache:
+
+```ruby
+get "/article/:id" do
+  @article = Article.find params['id']
+  last_modified @article.updated_at
+  etag @article.sha1
+  erb :article
+end
+```
+
+It is also possible to use a
+[weak ETag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_ETag#Strong_and_weak_validation):
+
+```ruby
+etag @article.sha1, :weak
+```
+
+These helpers will not do any caching for you, but rather feed the necessary
+information to your cache. If you are looking for a quick reverse-proxy caching
+solution, try [rack-cache](https://github.com/rtomayko/rack-cache):
+
+```ruby
+require "rack/cache"
+require "sinatra"
+
+use Rack::Cache
+
+get '/' do
+  cache_control :public, :max_age => 36000
+  sleep 5
+  "hello"
+end
+```
+
+Use the `:static_cache_control` setting (see below) to add
+`Cache-Control` header info to static files.
+
+According to RFC 2616, your application should behave differently if the If-Match
+or If-None-Match header is set to `*`, depending on whether the resource
+requested is already in existence. Sinatra assumes resources for safe (like get)
+and idempotent (like put) requests are already in existence, whereas other
+resources (for instance post requests) are treated as new resources. You
+can change this behavior by passing in a `:new_resource` option:
+
+```ruby
+get '/create' do
+  etag '', :new_resource => true
+  Article.create
+  erb :new_article
+end
+```
+
+If you still want to use a weak ETag, pass in a `:kind` option:
+
+```ruby
+etag '', :new_resource => true, :kind => :weak
+```
+
+### Sending Files
+
+To return the contents of a file as the response, you can use the `send_file`
+helper method:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  send_file 'foo.png'
+end
+```
+
+It also takes options:
+
+```ruby
+send_file 'foo.png', :type => :jpg
+```
+
+The options are:
+
+<dl>
+  <dt>filename</dt>
+    <dd>File name to be used in the response, defaults to the real file name.</dd>
+
+  <dt>last_modified</dt>
+    <dd>Value for Last-Modified header, defaults to the file's mtime.</dd>
+
+  <dt>type</dt>
+    <dd>Value for Content-Type header, guessed from the file extension if
+    missing.</dd>
+
+  <dt>disposition</dt>
+    <dd>
+      Value for Content-Disposition header, possible values: <tt>nil</tt>
+      (default), <tt>:attachment</tt> and <tt>:inline</tt>
+    </dd>
+
+  <dt>length</dt>
+    <dd>Value for Content-Length header, defaults to file size.</dd>
+
+  <dt>status</dt>
+    <dd>
+      Status code to be sent. Useful when sending a static file as an error page.
+
+      If supported by the Rack handler, other means than streaming from the Ruby
+      process will be used. If you use this helper method, Sinatra will
+      automatically handle range requests.
+    </dd>
+</dl>
+
+### Accessing the Request Object
+
+The incoming request object can be accessed from request level (filter, routes,
+error handlers) through the `request` method:
+
+```ruby
+# app running on http://example.com/example
+get '/foo' do
+  t = %w[text/css text/html application/javascript]
+  request.accept              # ['text/html', '*/*']
+  request.accept? 'text/xml'  # true
+  request.preferred_type(t)   # 'text/html'
+  request.body                # request body sent by the client (see below)
+  request.scheme              # "http"
+  request.script_name         # "/example"
+  request.path_info           # "/foo"
+  request.port                # 80
+  request.request_method      # "GET"
+  request.query_string        # ""
+  request.content_length      # length of request.body
+  request.media_type          # media type of request.body
+  request.host                # "example.com"
+  request.get?                # true (similar methods for other verbs)
+  request.form_data?          # false
+  request["some_param"]       # value of some_param parameter. [] is a shortcut to the params hash.
+  request.referrer            # the referrer of the client or '/'
+  request.user_agent          # user agent (used by :agent condition)
+  request.cookies             # hash of browser cookies
+  request.xhr?                # is this an ajax request?
+  request.url                 # "http://example.com/example/foo"
+  request.path                # "/example/foo"
+  request.ip                  # client IP address
+  request.secure?             # false (would be true over ssl)
+  request.forwarded?          # true (if running behind a reverse proxy)
+  request.env                 # raw env hash handed in by Rack
+end
+```
+
+Some options, like `script_name` or `path_info`, can also be written:
+
+```ruby
+before { request.path_info = "/" }
+
+get "/" do
+  "all requests end up here"
+end
+```
+
+The `request.body` is an IO or StringIO object:
+
+```ruby
+post "/api" do
+  request.body.rewind  # in case someone already read it
+  data = JSON.parse request.body.read
+  "Hello #{data['name']}!"
+end
+```
+
+### Attachments
+
+You can use the `attachment` helper to tell the browser the response should be
+stored on disk rather than displayed in the browser:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  attachment
+  "store it!"
+end
+```
+
+You can also pass it a file name:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  attachment "info.txt"
+  "store it!"
+end
+```
+
+### Dealing with Date and Time
+
+Sinatra offers a `time_for` helper method that generates a Time object from the
+given value. It is also able to convert `DateTime`, `Date` and similar classes:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  pass if Time.now > time_for('Dec 23, 2012')
+  "still time"
+end
+```
+
+This method is used internally by `expires`, `last_modified` and akin. You can
+therefore easily extend the behavior of those methods by overriding `time_for`
+in your application:
+
+```ruby
+helpers do
+  def time_for(value)
+    case value
+    when :yesterday then Time.now - 24*60*60
+    when :tomorrow  then Time.now + 24*60*60
+    else super
+    end
+  end
+end
+
+get '/' do
+  last_modified :yesterday
+  expires :tomorrow
+  "hello"
+end
+```
+
+### Looking Up Template Files
+
+The `find_template` helper is used to find template files for rendering:
+
+```ruby
+find_template settings.views, 'foo', Tilt[:haml] do |file|
+  puts "could be #{file}"
+end
+```
+
+This is not really useful. But it is useful that you can actually override this
+method to hook in your own lookup mechanism. For instance, if you want to be
+able to use more than one view directory:
+
+```ruby
+set :views, ['views', 'templates']
+
+helpers do
+  def find_template(views, name, engine, &block)
+    Array(views).each { |v| super(v, name, engine, &block) }
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Another example would be using different directories for different engines:
+
+```ruby
+set :views, :sass => 'views/sass', :haml => 'templates', :default => 'views'
+
+helpers do
+  def find_template(views, name, engine, &block)
+    _, folder = views.detect { |k,v| engine == Tilt[k] }
+    folder ||= views[:default]
+    super(folder, name, engine, &block)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+You can also easily wrap this up in an extension and share with others!
+
+Note that `find_template` does not check if the file really exists but
+rather calls the given block for all possible paths. This is not a performance
+issue, since `render` will use `break` as soon as a file is found. Also,
+template locations (and content) will be cached if you are not running in
+development mode. You should keep that in mind if you write a really crazy
+method.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Run once, at startup, in any environment:
+
+```ruby
+configure do
+  # setting one option
+  set :option, 'value'
+
+  # setting multiple options
+  set :a => 1, :b => 2
+
+  # same as `set :option, true`
+  enable :option
+
+  # same as `set :option, false`
+  disable :option
+
+  # you can also have dynamic settings with blocks
+  set(:css_dir) { File.join(views, 'css') }
+end
+```
+
+Run only when the environment (`RACK_ENV` environment variable) is set to
+`:production`:
+
+```ruby
+configure :production do
+  ...
+end
+```
+
+Run when the environment is set to either `:production` or `:test`:
+
+```ruby
+configure :production, :test do
+  ...
+end
+```
+
+You can access those options via `settings`:
+
+```ruby
+configure do
+  set :foo, 'bar'
+end
+
+get '/' do
+  settings.foo? # => true
+  settings.foo  # => 'bar'
+  ...
+end
+```
+
+### Configuring attack protection
+
+Sinatra is using
+[Rack::Protection](https://github.com/sinatra/rack-protection#readme) to defend
+your application against common, opportunistic attacks. You can easily disable
+this behavior (which will open up your application to tons of common
+vulnerabilities):
+
+```ruby
+disable :protection
+```
+
+To skip a single defense layer, set `protection` to an options hash:
+
+```ruby
+set :protection, :except => :path_traversal
+```
+You can also hand in an array in order to disable a list of protections:
+
+```ruby
+set :protection, :except => [:path_traversal, :session_hijacking]
+```
+
+By default, Sinatra will only set up session based protection if `:sessions`
+has been enabled. Sometimes you want to set up sessions on your own, though. In
+that case you can get it to set up session based protections by passing the
+`:session` option:
+
+```ruby
+use Rack::Session::Pool
+set :protection, :session => true
+```
+

+
+## Environments
+
+There are three predefined `environments`: `"development"`, `"production"` and
+`"test"`. Environments can be set through the `RACK_ENV` environment variable.
+The default value is `"development"`. In the `"development"` environment all
+templates are reloaded between requests, and special `not_found` and `error`
+handlers display stack traces in your browser. In the `"production"` and
+`"test"` environments, templates are cached by default.
+
+To run different environments, set the `RACK_ENV` environment variable:
+
+```shell
+RACK_ENV=production ruby my_app.rb
+```
+
+You can use predefined methods: `development?`, `test?` and `production?` to
+check the current environment setting:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  if settings.development?
+    "development!"
+  else
+    "not development!"
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Error handlers run within the same context as routes and before filters, which
+means you get all the goodies it has to offer, like `haml`,
+`erb`, `halt`, etc.
+
+### Not Found
+
+When a `Sinatra::NotFound` exception is raised, or the response's status
+code is 404, the `not_found` handler is invoked:
+
+```ruby
+not_found do
+  'This is nowhere to be found.'
+end
+```
+
+### Error
+
+The `error` handler is invoked any time an exception is raised from a route
+block or a filter. But note in development it will only run if you set the
+show exceptions option to `:after_handler`:
+
+```ruby
+set :show_exceptions, :after_handler
+```
+
+The exception object can be obtained from the `sinatra.error` Rack variable:
+
+```ruby
+error do
+  'Sorry there was a nasty error - ' + env['sinatra.error'].message
+end
+```
+
+Custom errors:
+
+```ruby
+error MyCustomError do
+  'So what happened was...' + env['sinatra.error'].message
+end
+```
+
+Then, if this happens:
+
+```ruby
+get '/' do
+  raise MyCustomError, 'something bad'
+end
+```
+
+You get this:
+
+```
+So what happened was... something bad
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can install an error handler for a status code:
+
+```ruby
+error 403 do
+  'Access forbidden'
+end
+
+get '/secret' do
+  403
+end
+```
+
+Or a range:
+
+```ruby
+error 400..510 do
+  'Boom'
+end
+```
+
+Sinatra installs special `not_found` and `error` handlers when
+running under the development environment to display nice stack traces
+and additional debugging information in your browser.
+
+## Rack Middleware
+
+Sinatra rides on [Rack](http://rack.github.io/), a minimal standard
+interface for Ruby web frameworks. One of Rack's most interesting capabilities
+for application developers is support for "middleware" -- components that sit
+between the server and your application monitoring and/or manipulating the
+HTTP request/response to provide various types of common functionality.
+
+Sinatra makes building Rack middleware pipelines a cinch via a top-level
+`use` method:
+
+```ruby
+require 'sinatra'
+require 'my_custom_middleware'
+
+use Rack::Lint
+use MyCustomMiddleware
+
+get '/hello' do
+  'Hello World'
+end
+```
+
+The semantics of `use` are identical to those defined for the
+[Rack::Builder](http://www.rubydoc.info/github/rack/rack/master/Rack/Builder) DSL
+(most frequently used from rackup files). For example, the `use` method
+accepts multiple/variable args as well as blocks:
+
+```ruby
+use Rack::Auth::Basic do |username, password|
+  username == 'admin' && password == 'secret'
+end
+```
+
+Rack is distributed with a variety of standard middleware for logging,
+debugging, URL routing, authentication, and session handling. Sinatra uses
+many of these components automatically based on configuration so you
+typically don't have to `use` them explicitly.
+
+You can find useful middleware in
+[rack](https://github.com/rack/rack/tree/master/lib/rack),
+[rack-contrib](https://github.com/rack/rack-contrib#readm),
+or in the [Rack wiki](https://github.com/rack/rack/wiki/List-of-Middleware).
+
+## Testing
+
+Sinatra tests can be written using any Rack-based testing library or framework.
+[Rack::Test](http://www.rubydoc.info/github/brynary/rack-test/master/frames)
+is recommended:
+
+```ruby
+require 'my_sinatra_app'
+require 'minitest/autorun'
+require 'rack/test'
+
+class MyAppTest < Minitest::Test
+  include Rack::Test::Methods
+
+  def app
+    Sinatra::Application
+  end
+
+  def test_my_default
+    get '/'
+    assert_equal 'Hello World!', last_response.body
+  end
+
+  def test_with_params
+    get '/meet', :name => 'Frank'
+    assert_equal 'Hello Frank!', last_response.body
+  end
+
+  def test_with_rack_env
+    get '/', {}, 'HTTP_USER_AGENT' => 'Songbird'
+    assert_equal "You're using Songbird!", last_response.body
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Note: If you are using Sinatra in the modular style, replace
+`Sinatra::Application` above with the class name of your app.
+
+## Sinatra::Base - Middleware, Libraries, and Modular Apps
+
+Defining your app at the top-level works well for micro-apps but has
+considerable drawbacks when building reusable components such as Rack
+middleware, Rails metal, simple libraries with a server component, or even
+Sinatra extensions. The top-level assumes a micro-app style configuration
+(e.g., a single application file, `./public` and `./views`
+directories, logging, exception detail page, etc.). That's where
+`Sinatra::Base` comes into play:
+
+```ruby
+require 'sinatra/base'
+
+class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
+  set :sessions, true
+  set :foo, 'bar'
+
+  get '/' do
+    'Hello world!'
+  end
+end
+```
+
+The methods available to `Sinatra::Base` subclasses are exactly the same as
+those available via the top-level DSL. Most top-level apps can be converted to
+`Sinatra::Base` components with two modifications:
+
+* Your file should require `sinatra/base` instead of `sinatra`;
+  otherwise, all of Sinatra's DSL methods are imported into the main
+  namespace.
+* Put your app's routes, error handlers, filters, and options in a subclass
+  of `Sinatra::Base`.
+
+`Sinatra::Base` is a blank slate. Most options are disabled by default,
+including the built-in server. See
+[Configuring Settings](http://www.sinatrarb.com/configuration.html)
+for details on available options and their behavior. If you want
+behavior more similar to when you define your app at the top level (also
+known as Classic style), you
+can subclass `Sinatra::Application`.
+
+```ruby
+require 'sinatra/base'
+
+class MyApp < Sinatra::Application
+  get '/' do
+    'Hello world!'
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Modular vs. Classic Style
+
+Contrary to common belief, there is nothing wrong with the classic style. If it
+suits your application, you do not have to switch to a modular application.
+
+The main disadvantage of using the classic style rather than the modular style
+is that you will only have one Sinatra application per Ruby process. If you
+plan to use more than one, switch to the modular style. There is no reason you
+cannot mix the modular and the classic styles.
+
+If switching from one style to the other, you should be aware of slightly
+different default settings:

+
+### Serving a Modular Application
+
+There are two common options for starting a modular app, actively starting with
+`run!`:
+
+```ruby
+# my_app.rb
+require 'sinatra/base'
+
+class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
+  # ... app code here ...
+
+  # start the server if ruby file executed directly
+  run! if app_file == $0
+end
+```
+
+Start with:
+
+```shell
+ruby my_app.rb
+```
+
+Or with a `config.ru` file, which allows using any Rack handler:
+
+```ruby
+# config.ru (run with rackup)
+require './my_app'
+run MyApp
+```
+
+Run:
+
+```shell
+rackup -p 4567
+```
+
+### Using a Classic Style Application with a config.ru
+
+Write your app file:
+
+```ruby
+# app.rb
+require 'sinatra'
+
+get '/' do
+  'Hello world!'
+end
+```
+
+And a corresponding `config.ru`:
+
+```ruby
+require './app'
+run Sinatra::Application
+```
+
+### When to use a config.ru?
+
+A `config.ru` file is recommended if:
+
+* You want to deploy with a different Rack handler (Passenger, Unicorn,
+  Heroku, ...).
+* You want to use more than one subclass of `Sinatra::Base`.
+* You want to use Sinatra only for middleware, and not as an endpoint.
+
+**There is no need to switch to a `config.ru` simply because you switched to
+the modular style, and you don't have to use the modular style for running with
+a `config.ru`.**
+
+### Using Sinatra as Middleware
+
+Not only is Sinatra able to use other Rack middleware, any Sinatra application
+can in turn be added in front of any Rack endpoint as middleware itself. This
+endpoint could be another Sinatra application, or any other Rack-based
+application (Rails/Ramaze/Camping/...):
+
+```ruby
+require 'sinatra/base'
+
+class LoginScreen < Sinatra::Base
+  enable :sessions
+
+  get('/login') { haml :login }
+
+  post('/login') do
+    if params['name'] == 'admin' && params['password'] == 'admin'
+      session['user_name'] = params['name']
+    else
+      redirect '/login'
+    end
+  end
+end
+
+class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
+  # middleware will run before filters
+  use LoginScreen
+
+  before do
+    unless session['user_name']
+      halt "Access denied, please <a href='/login'>login</a>."
+    end
+  end
+
+  get('/') { "Hello #{session['user_name']}." }
+end
+```
+
+### Dynamic Application Creation
+
+Sometimes you want to create new applications at runtime without having to
+assign them to a constant. You can do this with `Sinatra.new`:
+
+```ruby
+require 'sinatra/base'
+my_app = Sinatra.new { get('/') { "hi" } }
+my_app.run!
+```
+
+It takes the application to inherit from as an optional argument:
+
+```ruby
+# config.ru (run with rackup)
+require 'sinatra/base'
+
+controller = Sinatra.new do
+  enable :logging
+  helpers MyHelpers
+end
+
+map('/a') do
+  run Sinatra.new(controller) { get('/') { 'a' } }
+end
+
+map('/b') do
+  run Sinatra.new(controller) { get('/') { 'b' } }
+end
+```
+
+This is especially useful for testing Sinatra extensions or using Sinatra in
+your own library.
+
+This also makes using Sinatra as middleware extremely easy:
+
+```ruby
+require 'sinatra/base'
+
+use Sinatra do
+  get('/') { ... }
+end
+
+run RailsProject::Application
+```
+
+## Scopes and Binding
+
+The scope you are currently in determines what methods and variables are
+available.
+
+### Application/Class Scope
+
+Every Sinatra application corresponds to a subclass of `Sinatra::Base`.
+If you are using the top-level DSL (`require 'sinatra'`), then this
+class is `Sinatra::Application`, otherwise it is the subclass you
+created explicitly. At class level you have methods like `get` or `before`, but
+you cannot access the `request` or `session` objects, as there is only a
+single application class for all requests.
+
+Options created via `set` are methods at class level:
+
+```ruby
+class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
+  # Hey, I'm in the application scope!
+  set :foo, 42
+  foo # => 42
+
+  get '/foo' do
+    # Hey, I'm no longer in the application scope!
+  end
+end
+```
+
+You have the application scope binding inside:
+
+* Your application class body
+* Methods defined by extensions
+* The block passed to `helpers`
+* Procs/blocks used as value for `set`
+* The block passed to `Sinatra.new`
+
+You can reach the scope object (the class) like this:
+
+* Via the object passed to configure blocks (`configure { |c| ... }`)
+* `settings` from within the request scope
+
+### Request/Instance Scope
+
+For every incoming request, a new instance of your application class is
+created, and all handler blocks run in that scope. From within this scope you
+can access the `request` and `session` objects or call rendering methods like
+`erb` or `haml`. You can access the application scope from within the request
+scope via the `settings` helper:
+
+```ruby
+class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
+  # Hey, I'm in the application scope!
+  get '/define_route/:name' do
+    # Request scope for '/define_route/:name'
+    @value = 42
+
+    settings.get("/#{params['name']}") do
+      # Request scope for "/#{params['name']}"
+      @value # => nil (not the same request)
+    end
+
+    "Route defined!"
+  end
+end
+```
+
+You have the request scope binding inside:
+
+* get, head, post, put, delete, options, patch, link and unlink blocks
+* before and after filters
+* helper methods
+* templates/views
+
+### Delegation Scope
+
+The delegation scope just forwards methods to the class scope. However, it
+does not behave exactly like the class scope, as you do not have the class
+binding. Only methods explicitly marked for delegation are available, and you
+do not share variables/state with the class scope (read: you have a different
+`self`). You can explicitly add method delegations by calling
+`Sinatra::Delegator.delegate :method_name`.
+
+You have the delegate scope binding inside:
+
+* The top level binding, if you did `require "sinatra"`
+* An object extended with the `Sinatra::Delegator` mixin
+
+Have a look at the code for yourself: here's the
+[Sinatra::Delegator mixin](https://github.com/sinatra/sinatra/blob/ca06364/lib/sinatra/base.rb#L1609-1633)
+being [extending the main object](https://github.com/sinatra/sinatra/blob/ca06364/lib/sinatra/main.rb#L28-30).
+
+## Command Line
+
+Sinatra applications can be run directly:
+
+```shell
+ruby myapp.rb [-h] [-x] [-e ENVIRONMENT] [-p PORT] [-o HOST] [-s HANDLER]
+```
+
+Options are:
+
+```
+-h # help
+-p # set the port (default is 4567)
+-o # set the host (default is 0.0.0.0)
+-e # set the environment (default is development)
+-s # specify rack server/handler (default is thin)
+-x # turn on the mutex lock (default is off)
+```
+
+### Multi-threading
+
+_Paraphrasing from [this StackOverflow answer][so-answer] by Konstantin_
+
+Sinatra doesn't impose any concurrency model, but leaves that to the
+underlying Rack handler (server) like Thin, Puma or WEBrick. Sinatra
+itself is thread-safe, so there won't be any problem if the Rack handler
+uses a threaded model of concurrency. This would mean that when starting
+the server, you'd have to specify the correct invocation method for the
+specific Rack handler. The following example is a demonstration of how
+to start a multi-threaded Thin server:
+
+```ruby
+# app.rb
+
+require 'sinatra/base'
+
+class App < Sinatra::Base
+  get '/' do
+    "Hello, World"
+  end
+end
+
+App.run!
+
+```
+
+To start the server, the command would be:
+
+```shell
+thin --threaded start
+```

+
+## Requirement
+
+The following Ruby versions are officially supported:
+<dl>
+  <dt>Ruby 1.8.7</dt>
+  <dd>
+    1.8.7 is fully supported, however, if nothing is keeping you from it, we
+    recommend upgrading or switching to JRuby or Rubinius. Support for 1.8.7
+    will not be dropped before Sinatra 2.0. Ruby 1.8.6 is no longer supported.
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>Ruby 1.9.2</dt>
+  <dd>
+    1.9.2 is fully supported. Do not use 1.9.2p0, as it is known to cause
+    segmentation faults when running Sinatra. Official support will continue
+    at least until the release of Sinatra 1.5.
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>Ruby 1.9.3</dt>
+  <dd>
+    1.9.3 is fully supported and recommended. Please note that switching to 1.9.3
+    from an earlier version will invalidate all sessions. 1.9.3 will be supported
+    until the release of Sinatra 2.0.
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>Ruby 2.x</dt>
+  <dd>
+    2.x is fully supported and recommended. There are currently no plans to drop
+    official support for it.
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>Rubinius</dt>
+  <dd>
+    Rubinius is officially supported (Rubinius >= 2.x). It is recommended to
+    <tt>gem install puma</tt>.
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>JRuby</dt>
+  <dd>
+    The latest stable release of JRuby is officially supported. It is not
+    recommended to use C extensions with JRuby. It is recommended to
+    <tt>gem install trinidad</tt>.
+  </dd>
+</dl>
+
+We also keep an eye on upcoming Ruby versions.
+
+The following Ruby implementations are not officially supported but still are
+known to run Sinatra:
+
+* Older versions of JRuby and Rubinius
+* Ruby Enterprise Edition
+* MacRuby, Maglev, IronRuby
+* Ruby 1.9.0 and 1.9.1 (but we do recommend against using those)
+
+Not being officially supported means if things only break there and not on a
+supported platform, we assume it's not our issue but theirs.
+
+We also run our CI against ruby-head (future releases of MRI), but we can't
+guarantee anything, since it is constantly moving. Expect upcoming 2.x releases
+to be fully supported.
+
+Sinatra should work on any operating system supported by the chosen Ruby
+implementation.
+
+If you run MacRuby, you should `gem install control_tower`.
+
+Sinatra currently doesn't run on Cardinal, SmallRuby, BlueRuby or any
+Ruby version prior to 1.8.7.
+
+## The Bleeding Edge
+
+If you would like to use Sinatra's latest bleeding-edge code, feel free to run your
+application against the master branch, it should be rather stable.
+
+We also push out prerelease gems from time to time, so you can do a
+
+```shell
+gem install sinatra --pre
+```
+
+to get some of the latest features.
+
+### With Bundler
+
+If you want to run your application with the latest Sinatra, using
+[Bundler](http://bundler.io) is the recommended way.
+
+First, install bundler, if you haven't:
+
+```shell
+gem install bundler
+```
+
+Then, in your project directory, create a `Gemfile`:
+
+```ruby
+source 'https://rubygems.org'
+gem 'sinatra', :github => "sinatra/sinatra"
+
+# other dependencies
+gem 'haml'                    # for instance, if you use haml
+gem 'activerecord', '~> 3.0'  # maybe you also need ActiveRecord 3.x
+```
+
+Note that you will have to list all your application's dependencies in the `Gemfile`.
+Sinatra's direct dependencies (Rack and Tilt) will, however, be automatically
+fetched and added by Bundler.
+
+Now you can run your app like this:
+
+```shell
+bundle exec ruby myapp.rb
+```
+
+### Roll Your Own
+
+Create a local clone and run your app with the `sinatra/lib` directory
+on the `$LOAD_PATH`:
+
+```shell
+cd myapp
+git clone git://github.com/sinatra/sinatra.git
+ruby -I sinatra/lib myapp.rb
+```
+
+To update the Sinatra sources in the future:
+
+```shell
+cd myapp/sinatra
+git pull
+```
+
+### Install Globally
+
+You can build the gem on your own:
+
+```shell
+git clone git://github.com/sinatra/sinatra.git
+cd sinatra
+rake sinatra.gemspec
+rake install
+```
+
+If you install gems as root, the last step should be:
+
+```shell
+sudo rake install
+```
+
+## Versioning
+
+Sinatra follows [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/), both SemVer and
+SemVerTag.
