Net/HTTP is for connecting to a server.

Try using the GServer  
([http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/gserver/rdoc/classes/GServer.html](http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/gserver/rdoc/classes/GServer.html))  
standard library to create a generic server, if that’s what you are  
trying to do?

[off topic rant]]No offense to this poster whatsoever, but I knew from  
the  
title/“username” that this would come from the ruby-forum bridge. And  
as  
mentioned in a previous topic today, I think this sort of thing is  
exactly  
why rubyforum needs to either put a large disclaimer as to it’s actual  
use,  
or be split from the mailing list / newsgroup.

Now to answer the original poster. Look at the TCPServer class, or  
possibly  
into using WEBrick if you’re just needing a simple HTTP server. If you  
search the archives of this mailing list, or the comp.lang.ruby  
newsgroup  
you should be able to find plenty of information on writing server  
applications.
