    The links are broken (they have an extra ':' at the end).

    Anyway, thanks a lot for the heads up!

    Thanks for the heads up back, Yves-Eric.   Additionally, the URLs are not available over https, only http: I've adjusted them to be correct.  Have a great weekend!

    "bundle update rack" leaves us on 1.2.8, as Rails 3.0.20 requires rack (~> 1.2.5) ; this fixes CVE-2013-0263, but not CVE-2013-0262.... what we can do with CVE-2013-0262 on Rails 3.0?
