I am working on learning ruby and I am presently going over TCPSocket using the required ‘socket’.
I have successfully opened a server, and gotten a client to connect, but I am still running into some issues. The issue I am running into is if I need to drop the server for whatever reason, the TCP Socket gets put on hold, so that when I try to reopen the server I get:
"
server.rb:18:in initialize': Address already in use - bind(2) (Errno::EADDRINUSE) from server.rb:18:inopen’
from server.rb:18:in `’
imac:Server donvalverde$ ruby server.rb
"
My question is, is there a way to securely and safely close a TCPSocket Server?
Here is my present server.rb
"
#!/usr/bin/ruby
=begin
Created By: Donald R. Valverde(AKA Cavious)
server.rb
Version: 1.0-PRE-ALPHA
=end
require ‘socket’
def connection_time()
connect_time = (Time.now)
return connect_time
end
server = TCPServer.open(35504) #default localhost
loop {
Thread.start(server.accept) do |client|
puts( "#{connection_time}::#{client.peeraddr[2]} has connected to the server.")
client.puts("#{connection_time}::You've connected to the server")
puts( "#{connection_time}::#{client.peeraddr[2]} has disconnected from the server.")
client.close
end
}
"
and my client.rb:
"
require ‘socket’
def connection_time()
connect_time = (Time.now)
return connect_time
end
hostname = ‘localhost’
port = 35504
s = TCPSocket.open(hostname, port)
puts “#{connection_time()} ::Connected to Server @ #{hostname}:#{port}.”
while inbound_text = s.gets
puts inbound_text.chop
end
puts “#{connection_time()} ::Disconnected from Server @ #{hostname}:#{port}.”
s.close
"
Any assistance would be appreciated,

PS; I apologize for any lack of fortmatting on my post, I haven’t had the time to look at the BBcode or html syntax offers.
