Hi,
I'm trying to send simple data structures (hashes) to a daemon process one one machine from a client process via TCP. I thought the best way to do this would be with XML or YAML. Here's my simple server:
···
---
require 'socket'
server = TCPServer.new('127.0.0.1', 8080)
while (session = server.accept)
session.puts session.gets
session.close
end
---
Obviously I don't know what I'm doing The above client/server works for my simple purposes, but I wanted to know if there's a better way to pass hashes from the client to the server and back. I'd prefer to stick with YAML (rather than XML) if possible.
why not drb - then you can pass any object and needed bother with yaml/xml,
etc. ??

Wow, I didn't know about drb. That does indeed do what I want more elegantly. Brian, I'm keeping you're example of sending YAML in case I need it for a different project. Thanks to all who replied.

"YAML::load_documents is the most efficient way to load streaming data.
This applies as well to TCP sockets. Client/server applications which
communcate in YAML can pass the TCPSocket object directly to
YAML::load_documents for parsing a stream over TCP/IP."
I don't know if that has any relevance to your example (?).
- If not, please ignore.
thanks for the pointer. I have no idea if it is applicable in this
case. Just did a quick hack to show how sockets work, but I have to
admit I have never even used yaml.
regards,
Brian
