TCPServer

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
