Constructor Detail

def self.new(host, port, dns_timeout = nil, connect_timeout = nil) #

Creates a new TCP connection to a remote TCP server.

You may limit the DNS resolution time with dns_timeout and limit the connection time to the remote server with connect_timeout. Both values must be in seconds (integers or floats).

Note that dns_timeout is currently ignored.


[View source]
def self.new(family : Family = Family::INET) #

Creates a new TCPSocket, waiting to be connected.


[View source]
def self.new(*, fd : Int32, family : Family = Family::INET) #

Creates a TCPSocket from an already configured raw file descriptor


[View source]

Class Method Detail

def self.open(host, port, &) #

Opens a TCP socket to a remote TCP server, yields it to the block, then eventually closes the socket when the block returns.

Returns the value of the block.

Instance Method Detail

def tcp_keepalive_count #

The number of probes sent, without response before dropping the connection.


[View source]
def tcp_keepalive_count=(val : Int) #

[View source]
def tcp_keepalive_idle #

The amount of time in seconds the connection must be idle before sending keepalive probes.


[View source]
def tcp_keepalive_idle=(val : Int) #

[View source]
def tcp_keepalive_interval #

The amount of time in seconds between keepalive probes.


[View source]
def tcp_keepalive_interval=(val : Int) #

[View source]
def tcp_nodelay=(val : Bool) #

Disables the Nagle algorithm when set to true, otherwise enables it.


[View source]
def tcp_nodelay? #

Returns true if the Nagle algorithm is disabled.
