I want to generate ( i dont like create word) a local server (like localhost/8000) on my LAN by Ruby, i researched İnternet but i cant make it. My aim is showing html pages in local servers , using by Ruby. How can i make it?
require 'socket'
I'm using socket in Standart Library but it gives error when I refresh page.
require 'socket'
server = TCPServer.new('localhost', 2345)
loop do
socket = server.accept
request = socket.gets
STDERR.puts request
response = "Hello World!\n"
socket.print "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n" +
"Content-Type: text/plain\r\n" +
"Content-Length: #{response.bytesize}\r\n" +
"Connection: close\r\n"
socket.print "\r\n"
socket.print response
socket.close
end

You could do
ruby -run -e httpd -- . -p 8000
which will start server at port 8000 serving current directory (where server was started). Thus you could place all your HTML pages inside a folder and start server from there.

Other people think you just want to start a web server, maybe your question is how to write a web server in ruby. This is a good introduction on ruby web servers and it contains an example shows how to build a sample http server, cite here for you:
require 'socket'
server = TCPServer.new 80
loop do
# step 1) accept incoming connection
socket = server.accept
# step 2) print the request headers (separated by a blank line e.g. \r\n)
puts line = socket.readline until line == "\r\n"
# step 3) send response
html = "<html>\r\n"+
"<h1>Hello, World!</h1>\r\n"+
"</html>"
socket.write "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n" +
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n" +
"Content-Length: #{html.bytesize}\r\n"
socket.write "\r\n" # write a blank line to separate headers from the html doc
socket.write html # write out the html doc
# step 4) close the socket, terminating the connection
socket.close
end
Start it by running ruby this_file.rb, and test with a get method.
