Ruby网络编程（1）

关键字：[size=xx-large]TCPSocket TCPServer [/size]
这个例子是这样的：客户端连上服务器后，服务器向客户端的终端显示服务器的时间，然后将来自客户端的网络连接养关闭。

my_tcp_server.rb

require 'socket'               # Get sockets from stdlib

server = TCPServer.open(2000)  # Socket to listen on port 2000
loop {                         # Servers run forever
  client = server.accept       # Wait for a client to connect
  client.puts(Time.now.ctime)  # Send the time to the client
  client.puts "Closing the connection. Bye!"
  #client.write("dd")
  client.close                 # Disconnect from the client
}

server.accept这个方法会一直挂着，直到有客户端连上来为止。

my_tcp_client.rb

require 'socket'      # Sockets are in standard library

hostname = 'localhost'
port = 2000

s = TCPSocket.open(hostname, port)

while line = s.gets   # Read lines from the socket
  puts line.chop      # And print with platform line terminator
end

#streamSock.send( "Hello\n" )  
#str = streamSock.recv( 100 )  
#print str  

s.close               # Close the socket when done

然而大多数的服务器是支持多个客户端的连接的，在Ruby中可以用线程来很容易地做到这一点。

我将以上的my_tcp_server.rb中的服务器代码修改一下：

require 'socket'                # Get sockets from stdlib

server = TCPServer.open(2000)   # Socket to listen on port 2000
loop {                          # Servers run forever
  Thread.start(server.accept) do |client|
    client.puts(Time.now.ctime) # Send the time to the client
	client.puts "Closing the connection. Bye!"
    client.close                # Disconnect from the client
  end
}

这样的话，每有一个客户端连接上来，就会在服务器端启动一个线程来处理请求。
