If no level is given INFO is chosen by default

 
               # File webrick/log.rb, line 30
def initialize(log_file=nil, level=nil)
  @level = level || INFO
  case log_file
  when String
    @log = open(log_file, "a+")
    @log.sync = true
    @opened = true
  when NilClass
    @log = $stderr
  else
    @log = log_file  # requires "<<". (see BasicLog#log)
  end
end
