I am trying to interface to an API. I am instructed to use the server
and port information provided to setup a TCP socket. I did that like
this:
require ''socket''
my_socket=TCPSocket::open("ip","port")
Where "ip" and "port" are the provided ip and port of the
server
respectively.
I am told that once the connection is established I will receive a
greeting from the server. I was expecting to find that greeting in
my_socket. Instead the contents of my_socket looks like this:
#<TCPSocket:0x9961c80>
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong and what I need to do
to get at the greeting? Obviously I am very green at this. Thanks
for any input.

It is an unfinished project but that part works. http://github.com/kandalf/fluxy/blob/master/lib/fluxy_receiver.rb Take a look at the run method there. That''s for a server socket but might help you otu with this. Hope it helps. -- Leonardo Mateo.

I think that I have the speed issue resolved. It appears to be an
anomaly that is associated only with their sandbox server. The live
server seems to work just fine. I can live with that. Thanks for
your help.
