How can I determine which server is used

[Norm Scherer]

Rails 2.3.15
The system may be run using mongrel or apache/passenger.  Some functions are not supported in mongrel 1.1.5 but work in apache/passenger therefore I want to know what server is being used so I can alter behavior as needed.

How can I determine in a controller which server is serving the system?

Thanks
Norm

I suppose you could check the environment from within the relevant
function.

Pretty crude but you could check defined?(PhusionPassenger)

Thanks Frederick and Joel.  Turns out SERVER_SOFTWARE is defined as "Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu)" in the environment so I can use that and also PhusionPassenger is defined when running under passenger so that would work also.  Both are fairly crude but they work and that is what I need.  I would prefer to know mongrel is running but that does not seem as easy and this will work.
