start

v2_2_9 - Show latest stable - Class: WEBrick::GenericServer

start(&block)

public

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
