TCPServer represents a TCP/IP server socket.

A simple TCP server may look like:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
require 'socket'
 
server = TCPServer.new 2000 # Server bind to port 2000
loop do
  client = server.accept    # Wait for a client to connect
  client.puts "Hello !"
  client.puts "Time is #{Time.now}"
  client.close
end

A more usable server (serving multiple clients):

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
require 'socket'
 
server = TCPServer.new 2000
loop do
  Thread.start(server.accept) do |client|
    client.puts "Hello !"
    client.puts "Time is #{Time.now}"
    client.close
  end
end
