Hi,

I would like to know if there is a way to take the ip address of client  
from GServer#serve.

Regards,

Julien

Try this:

def serve(myClient)  
p myClient.peeraddr  
end

thanks, it works.  
I should have considered the GServer#serve parameter as a socket and not  
just as an io (cf [http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/GServer.html](http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/GServer.html)).
