class WEBrick::GenericServer

Base TCP server class. You must subclass GenericServer and provide a run method.

Attributes

config[R]

The server configuration

listeners[R]

Sockets listening for connections.

logger[R]

The server logger. This is independent from the HTTP access log.

status[R]

The server status. One of :Stop, :Running or :Shutdown

tokens[R]

Tokens control the number of outstanding clients. The :MaxClients configuration sets this.

Public Class Methods

new(config={}, default=Config::General) click to toggle source

Creates a new generic server from config. The default configuration comes from default.

# File lib/webrick/server.rb, line 87
def initialize(config={}, default=Config::General)
  @config = default.dup.update(config)
  @status = :Stop
  @config[:Logger] ||= Log::new
  @logger = @config[:Logger]

  @tokens = Thread::SizedQueue.new(@config[:MaxClients])
  @config[:MaxClients].times{ @tokens.push(nil) }

  webrickv = WEBrick::VERSION
  rubyv = "#{RUBY_VERSION} (#{RUBY_RELEASE_DATE}) [#{RUBY_PLATFORM}]"
  @logger.info("WEBrick #{webrickv}")
  @logger.info("ruby #{rubyv}")

  @listeners = []
  @shutdown_pipe = nil
  unless @config[:DoNotListen]
    if @config[:Listen]
      warn(":Listen option is deprecated; use GenericServer#listen", uplevel: 1)
    end
    listen(@config[:BindAddress], @config[:Port])
    if @config[:Port] == 0
      @config[:Port] = @listeners[0].addr[1]
    end
  end
end

Public Instance Methods

[](key) click to toggle source

Retrieves key from the configuration

# File lib/webrick/server.rb, line 117
def [](key)
  @config[key]
end

listen(address, port) click to toggle source

Adds listeners from address and port to the server. See WEBrick::Utils.create_listeners for details.

# File lib/webrick/server.rb, line 125
def listen(address, port)
  @listeners += Utils::create_listeners(address, port)
end

run(sock) click to toggle source

You must subclass GenericServer and implement #run which accepts a TCP client socket

# File lib/webrick/server.rb, line 240
def run(sock)
  @logger.fatal "run() must be provided by user."
end

shutdown() click to toggle source

Shuts down the server and all listening sockets. New listeners must be provided to restart the server.

# File lib/webrick/server.rb, line 230
def shutdown
  stop

  alarm_shutdown_pipe(&:close)
end

ssl_servername_callback(sslsocket, hostname = nil) click to toggle source

ServerNameIndication callback

# File lib/webrick/ssl.rb, line 209
def ssl_servername_callback(sslsocket, hostname = nil)
  # default
end

start(&block) click to toggle source

Starts the server and runs the block for each connection. This method does not return until the server is stopped from a signal handler or another thread using stop or shutdown.

If the block raises a subclass of StandardError the exception is logged and ignored. If an IOError or Errno::EBADF exception is raised the exception is ignored. If an Exception subclass is raised the exception is logged and re-raised which stops the server.

To completely shut down a server call shutdown from ensure:

server = WEBrick::GenericServer.new
# or WEBrick::HTTPServer.new

begin
  server.start
ensure
  server.shutdown
end

# File lib/webrick/server.rb, line 150
def start(&block)
  raise ServerError, "already started." if @status != :Stop
  server_type = @config[:ServerType] || SimpleServer

      "#{self.class}#start: pid=#{$$} port=#{@config[:Port]}"
    @status = :Running
    call_callback(:StartCallback)

    shutdown_pipe = @shutdown_pipe

    thgroup = ThreadGroup.new

        begin
          sp = shutdown_pipe[0]
          if svrs = IO.select([sp, *@listeners])
            if svrs[0].include? sp
              # swallow shutdown pipe

            end
            svrs[0].each{|svr|
              @tokens.pop          # blocks while no token is there.
              if sock = accept_client(svr)
                unless config[:DoNotReverseLookup].nil?
                  sock.do_not_reverse_lookup = !!config[:DoNotReverseLookup]
                end
                th = start_thread(sock, &block)
                th[:WEBrickThread] = true
                thgroup.add(th)
              else
                @tokens.push(nil)

    end
  }
end

stop() click to toggle source

Stops the server from accepting new connections.

# File lib/webrick/server.rb, line 218
def stop
  if @status == :Running
    @status = :Shutdown
  end
