Hi
I've just started using ruby and thought I'd do some experimenting
with TCPSocket and TCPServer
I've got a small problem, in that the program I've written runs fine
on Linux, but runs with a lag on windows. By this I mean that when you
type into the client on std input in Linux, what you type is
automatically displayed.
However in windows nothing happens until you type and send something
else. Like it's caught in a buffer and needs to be flushed. I've tried
flushing the output stream as you would in Java, but nothing seems to
work
If anyone could give me some advice I would be eternally grateful.
I've searched around the net, but to no avail.
Client
require 'socket'
require 'thread'
class Client
def initialize
host = 'localhost'
port = 40000
s = TCPSocket.new(host, 40000)
t = Thread.new do
while(true)
line = s.gets
if(line == nil)
puts("Program is exiting")
break
end #of if
$stdout.flush
puts "Received: #{line}"
$stdout.flush
end #of while
s.close
end #of thread
while(true)
puts("About to run stdin")
line = $stdin.gets
s.puts(line)
end #of while
puts 'QUIT'
t.join
s.close
Process.exit
end #of con
end #of class
st = Client.new
Server
require 'socket'
require 'thread'
class ServerThread
def initialize
t = TCPServer.new('localhost', 40000)
while(true)
go = t.accept
s = Thread.new(go) do |v|
while(true)
# data = "none"
data = v.gets
v.write(data)
if(data == nil)
puts("From inside if")
self.closeSocket(v)
end #of if
end # while
end #of thread
end #end of while
s.join
end #of constructor
def closeSocket(sock)
puts("This is closeSocket")
sock.close
end #of method
end #of class
s = ServerThread.new
Thanks Ian
