From: Mac Man Date: 2008-09-07T03:50:39+09:00 Subject: Re: TCP Socket Programming sorry...that was a mistake..typo error. both client and server are pointing to the same port 1045. Actually the code goes this way... client_side = TCPSocket.new('localhost','1045') print "Enter some text: " text=gets() client_side.write(text) I am writing the input text to the server side. An issue I found was that this error occurs only in version 1.8.6. I tried the same code on version 1.8.1 and it worked, but got a different error as below. in 'recvfrom' : getnameinfo: ai_family not supported. (SocketError) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
