C-c doesn't work on the espresso process

[Jakub Arnold]

If I run my app via `ruby app.rb` I can't really kill it with Ctrl-C, or even kill -9 doesn't work. Am I missing something?

[Silviu Rusu]

That's because of WEBrick server.

Espresso does not trap signals on its own, it allow web server to do this, and WEBrick does not play well here.

The issue persist for long time in Espresso... just because WEBrick is not widely used...

And i guess it is time to address it - here is the commit - https://github.com/espresso/espresso/commit/fcbebf9740

So the fix is in master branch and will be available with next release.
