if you're working on windows, that is a known issue I'm afraid
I remember this was related to windows select() maybe..

I have soe problems whitn treads and I/O.

My program starts severals threads that open tcp connections.
The main thread waits the user to press Q to stop the program.

It seems that the gets fonction blocks all my threads !!!
How is it possible?
What did I wrong?

Thanks alot.

there is my programm

require 'socket'

#parametrers
$host = $*[0]
$port = $*[1]
$number = $*[2]
$number = 1 if ($number == nil)
$number = $number.to_i

#start threads
threads = []
for i in 1..($number)
threads << Thread.new(i) { |i|
sleep (rand(10))
while(1)
t = TCPSocket.new($host,$port)
sleep (rand(10))
t.close
sleep (rand(10))
end
}
end

print "Q to quit\n"
while(!($stdin.gets =~ /Q.*/))
end

Tell us about what you are trying to accomplish?
make a server? or a client?


Its seems to me, that you are confusing server/client.
A: using TCPSocket, is a client thing.
B: multiple threads which operates on the same port (server).


Take a look at the TCPServer class, here:
