Issue #19899 has been updated by byroot (Jean Boussier).





It is intentional yes. I'll add it to NEWS.md.

Misc #19899: Ruby3.3.0-preview2: Behaviour changes of Socket.recv when the =
sever closes the connection

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19899#change-104779



* Author: jbeschi (jacopo beschi)

* Status: Open

* Priority: Normal

----------------------------------------

I noticed that `Socket#recv` now returns `nil` instead of `""` when the ser=
ver closes the connection, is it expected? If yes, I suggest mentioning it =
to the [release page](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2023/09/14/ruby-3-3=
-0-preview2-released/).=20



Example:





``` ruby

# server.rb

require "socket"



port =3D 3030

server =3D TCPServer.new("", port)



while(conn =3D server.accept) #serves forever

  conn.print "hello"

  conn.close

end



#=A0client.rb

require 'socket'



port =3D 3030

socket =3D TCPSocket.new("localhost", port)



2.times do

  res =3D socket.recv(1012)

  puts "received:"

  p res

end

socket.close

```





```
