This librarie implements a persistant multithread TCP server, it is alternative to ‘gserver’ standard librarie. TServer is designed to be inherited by your custom server class. The server can accepts multiple simultaneous connections from clients, can be configured to have a maximum connection and a minimum permanent listener thread. Can be imediatly stopped, gracefull shutdown (dont accept new connection but wait established connection is closed before realy stop) or reloaded (terminate listener after established connection is closed and respawn new).
This example can receive and return simple string from telnet connection.
require 'tserver' class ExampleServer < TServer class Listener < TServer::Listener def process connection.each do |line| break if line =~ /(quit|exit|close)/ log '> ' + line.chomp conn.puts Time.now.to_s + '> ' + line.chomp end end end end # Create the server with logging enabled (server activity is displayed # in console with received data) server = ExampleServer.new server.verbose = true # Shutdown the server when script is interupted Signal.trap('SIGINT') do server.shutdown end # Start the server (joined is set to true and the line wait on server # thread before continue, the default values of this parameter is set to # false, you can also use 'server.join' after server.start) server.start(true) # Now you can open a telnet connection to 127.0.0.1:10001 (telnet 127.0.0.1 10001) # and send text (use exit to close the connection)
