From: Daniel Waite Date: 2010-06-10T04:58:47+09:00 Subject: Socket programming in Ruby What are the requirements for the IP address passed to TCPSocket.new? Example... >> require 'socket' => true >> s = TCPSocket.new '127.0.0.1', 6500 Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) from (irb):2:in `initialize' from (irb):2:in `new' from (irb):2 In other words, what relationship does the machine on which the Ruby code is being run have with the IP address referenced in the code? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
