1. indenting.
2. `else' section is for cleanup. Working code belongs just before
   `rescue'.
3. Don't forget h.close or use h.open
3. Each request needs an own connection. This is NOT a Ruby
   subject.

  require 'socket'
  class String ; def crlf ; gsub "\n", "\r\n" ; end ; end
  begin
    host = 'www.justanotherhttpserver.com'
    puts "-"*32
    [ "POST ...", "GET ..." ].each { |request|
      TCPSocket.open host, 80 do |h|
        h.write request.crlf
        puts h.read
        puts "-"*32
      end
    }
  rescue
    puts "error: #$!"
  end
