Hi,
$ irbirb(main):001:0> require 'socket'=> trueirb(main):002:0> ts = TCPSocket.new('0', 80)=> #<TCPSocket:0xb7cb2ddc>irb(main):003:0> m1 = ts.method(:send)=> #<Method: TCPSocket(BasicSocket)#send>irb(main):004:0> m2 = ts.method(:write)=> #<Method: TCPSocket(IO)#write>irb(main):005:0> m3 = ts.method(:puts)=> #<Method: TCPSocket(IO)#puts>
TCPSocket#send and TCPSocket#write are functionally same.But TCPSocket#puts appends "\n" to the output string.
