|I'm playing around with sockets in ruby and took a look at the docs(http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/socket/rdoc/index.html). There are some examples like this here(http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/socket/rdoc/classes/Socket.html#M004166):
|
|     require 'socket'
|     include Socket::Constants
|     socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 )
|     sockaddr = Socket.pack_sockaddr_in( 2200, 'localhost' )
|     socket.bind( sockaddr )
|     socket.listen( 5 )
|     client, client_sockaddr = socket.accept
|     puts "The client said, '#{socket.readline.chomp}'"
|     client.puts "Hello from script one!"
|     socket.close
|
|But that example is wrong! It has to be client.readline.chomp and not socket.readline.chomp. Take this example by me:

It's already updated in the source.  I guess ruby-doc.org needs update
as well.
