TCPServer represents a TCP/IP server socket.
A simple TCP server may look like:
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):
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
