hi all,
i am wondering if there is consensus around whether it is an assumption of the rails core that each request will be served by a new, clean thread? i ask because i am using Thread.current hash and while mongrel seems to handle each request with a new thread and so Thread.current is clean, passenger serves the same thread each time.
besides my own selfish uses, this seems to be pertinent to several places in rails core where Thread.current is set with ||=
ror/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/vendor/i18n-0.1.3/ lib/i18n.rb:40: Thread.current[:locale] ||= default_locale ror/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/time/ zones.rb:15: Thread.current[:time_zone] || zone_default ror/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:2189: Thread.current[:"#{self}_scoped_methods"] ||= self.default_scoping.dup
so, what is the expected behavior for a webserver?
