rubygems-server

rubygems-server allows users to serve gems for consumption by gem --remote-install.

gem_server starts an HTTP server on the given port and serves the following:

• "/" - Browsing of gem spec files for installed gems
• "/specs.#{Gem.marshal_version}.gz" - specs name/version/platform index
• "/latest_specs.#{Gem.marshal_version}.gz" - latest specs name/version/platform index
• "/quick/" - Individual gemspecs
• "/gems" - Direct access to download the installable gems
• "/rdoc?q=" - Search for installed rdoc documentation
