I've been starting Thin with thin -V start in development.

However, I would like Thin to be the default instead of WEBrick and to be able to start it with rails s.

Is there a way to set Thin as the default instead of WEBrick in Rails 3?

If that's not possible, is there at least a way to start it in the test environment automatically?

I sent a pull request on the Github repository of rack and it was accepted: https://github.com/rack/rack/commit/b487f02b13f42c5933aa42193ed4e1c0b90382d7

In a near future, we will be able to use Thin just by adding gem 'thin' to our Gemfile and starting app with rails s.

Note that this may be a temporary measure, however.

I chose Thin because Mongrel was not maintained currently and no other server seemed to suit as an alternative to Mongrel.
