this thing kind of works... i have connected my webbrowser to 8181 for
testing... im looking for help, everything i try produce the same
resaults... i dont really want to bother with event machines

And what exactly do you need help with?

so, my code has a few problems, the web browser will only load a few
pages and the connection will always stay open as if the browser is
waiting for more data...

i was thinking maybe i need 2 or 3 threads to handle both sides...

Thread.start{ receive_get from webbrowser }#step one
Thread.start{ send_get to webserver } #step two
Thread.start{ send_response to webbrowser }#step three

if i understand, the first step i need to gather a host: field
then establish a connection to the host web server
and pass the response back to the web client...

i think my loops are wrong...

A few things:

- Better use #read and #write for your IO
- I think you are not properly implementing the HTTP proxy protocol.
- You can make your life easier by using #gets("\r\n") to read HTTP
request from client

i was thinking maybe i need 2 or 3 threads to handle both sides...

Thread.start{ receive_get from webbrowser }#step one
Thread.start{ send_get to webserver } #step two
Thread.start{ send_response to webbrowser }#step three

I don't think you'll necessarily need threads for HTTP 1.0.

if i understand, the first step i need to gather a host: field
then establish a connection to the host web server
and pass the response back to the web client...

Right.

i think my loops are wrong... maybe i can use IO to handle sockets?

No idea what you mean by that.
