Late Bloomers of the Arts

For all of you who’ve felt even for a second that it’s ever too late: 

1. Charles Bukowski had his first book published when he was 49

2. Leonard Cohen was 33 when his first album was released

3. Marina Abramovic’s career as an independent artist wasn’t solidified until she was 42

4. Julia Child’s career started when she was 36

5. Van Gogh started drawing when he was 27

6. Monet painted Sunrise when he was 33, but wasn’t producing his best work until his early 40s

7. Kazuo Ohno started dancing when he was 27

8. William S. Burroughs had his first novel published when he was 39

Rack::Request and URIs

I frequently forget the different paths that you can retrieve from a Rack::Request object.

I promise that from now on, I’ll remember… via a bookmark to this post.

$ curl http://localhost:4567/a/long/path?with=some&query=parameters

request.path

"/a/long/path"

request.fullpath

"/a/long/path?with=some&query=parameters"

request.path_info

"/a/long/path"

request.query_string

"with=some&query=parameters"

request.scheme

"http"

request.url

"http://localhost:4567/a/long/path?with=some&query=parameters"

request.host

"localhost"

request.host_with_port

"localhost:4567"
