Castanet issues HTTP requests using an absolute URI in the request line. Though this is legal per [RFC 2616][2616] section 5.1.2, [Thin][] does not correctly handle requests of this form (see macournoyer/thin#8). Thin has benefits for integrated test deployments (in particular, its command line interface allows for SSL configuration, a seemingly unique feature among rack handlers), so it would be nice if Castanet would work with it.
