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:
Two security issues are found on activepack shipped on Fedora 10. One bug is
that there is a weakness in the strip_tags function in ruby on rails (bug
542786, CVE-2009-4214). Another one is a possibility to circumvent protection
against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks (bug 544329). This new rpm
will fix these issues.
