Yes, "kk" method is useless, already said that in my previous example.
My real code looks more like the following:


------------------
    def receive_data(data)
      @buffer << data

      while (case @state
        when :init
          @parser.reset
          @parser_nbytes = 0
          @state = :headers

        when :headers
          parse_headers

        when :body
          get_body

        when :finished
          process_request
          @state = :init
          # return true to continue processing possible TCP remaining data.
          true

        when :ignore
          false
        end) do
      end  # while

    end
