class Rack::ShowExceptions

Rack::ShowExceptions catches all exceptions raised from the app it wraps. It shows a useful backtrace with the sourcefile and clickable context, the whole Rack environment and the request data.

Be careful when you use this on public-facing sites as it could reveal information helpful to attackers.
