The commit in Rails 4 that upgrades to Rack 1.5 does not look complicated: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/7d624e0e8cfa3adffd8f475e3588d83f3b367c24 I even managed to backport the change to the test support so your minimal test case works with it, but the rest of the patch is too different from the code in 3.2. I'd appreciate any help there. If we don't find a sollution for this we will probably need to add a rack1.4 package for use with rails3.2 ... :-( -- Antonio Terceiro <terceiro@debian.org>
