Summary
Eases web-request routing, handling, and response as a half-way front,
half-way page controller. Implemented with specific emphasis on enabling easy
unit/integration testing that doesn't require a browser.
Update Information:

Attackers who can inject deliberately malformed unicode strings into the form helpers can defeat the escaping checks and inject arbitrary HTML. This issue has been tagged as CVE-2009-3009. These new rpms will fix this issue.
