Things to know when replacing WEBrick by Thin

Question

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?

BTW: I'm deploying on Heroku. If there are specific issues with Thin on Heroku then I would also like to know.

Nope.. Rails is just that simple! :)

Just make sure you start using:

thin start
