From: Francis Cianfrocca Date: 2006-08-01T21:01:12+09:00 Subject: Re: Telnet Server in Ruby To both JEGII and Bill Kelly: I'd really like to see a telnet server capability built into and shipped with EM. Although there hasn't been a release lately (my fault, just gotta do it), if you look into the SVN you'll see where things are going. We've added thread-pools (for handling locally-blocking things like database calls) and also a "Deferred" object that acts just like the one in Twisted (you add arbitrary callbacks and errbacks to it). And there is some structure in the source tree for adding specific network-protocol handlers. That's where a telnet server would fit in. Another possibility, possibly better, is to treat EM as a platform, and then people can ship servers as separate packages, like RoR. JEGII: may I use your code posted above to make a first attempt? I'll come back to you with annoying questions if I have trouble, of course ;-). Bill: ditto with your windowing libraries. EM is licensed under either Ruby terms or LGPL so you would need to allow a relaxation of terms in order for your stuff to be included. If that's not poss, then maybe it could be an outboard library. Thoughts from anyone? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
