Things to know when replacing WEBrick by Thin

I intend to replace WEBrick by Thin on a Rails 3.2 project because WEBrick handles malformed unescaped URIs badly (bad URI error). I know there are config hacks to make WEBrick handle unescaped URIs but just adding gem 'thin' to my Gemfile seems so easy that makes me wonder:

  • Is there something that could break or go wrong in my apllication if I do that?
