Hello,

I would like to write a little TCPServer which communicates with
another ruby program on another computer.

So i tried all with TCPServer. I could connect and it worked, but i
want to execute it in a thread and now the program halts when i open
the server.


i use ruby 1.8 for windows. does this matter in that case?

best regards
Max Kuffs

My source:

require 'socket'

SERVER_PORT = 4772
LISTEN_ON = '0.0.0.0'

srv = Thread.new(){
       ss=TCPServer.new LISTEN_ON,SERVER_PORT
       con=ss.accept
       while !con.eof?
        puts con.gets
       end
}

while true do
       puts "Cycle"
       if srv.stop? then
               # Restarting Thread if died
               puts "Restarting Server Thread!"
               srv.run 
       end
       puts "sleeep-----------------------------------------"
       sleep 5

end
