create a http server with a connect route in ruby

To create an HTTP server with Connect route in Ruby, we can use the webrick module. This module provides a simple HTTP server that can be used to serve static files or dynamic content.

First, we need to require the necessary modules:

main.rb
require 'webrick'
require 'webrick/httpproxy'
46 chars
3 lines

Next, we need to create a server object and set the port number:

main.rb
server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(Port: 8000)
45 chars
2 lines

We can then define a route using the mount_proc method. This method takes a path and a block, and executes the block whenever a request is made to that path:

main.rb
server.mount_proc '/' do |req, res|
  res.content_type = 'text/plain'
  res.body = 'Hello, world!'
end
103 chars
5 lines

In this example, we have defined a route that will return a plain text response of "Hello, world!" whenever a GET request is made to the root path '/'.

Finally, we can start the server by calling the start method:

main.rb
server.start
13 chars
2 lines

This will start the HTTP server on port 8000 and listen for incoming connections.

Here's the complete code:

main.rb
require 'webrick'
require 'webrick/httpproxy'

server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(Port: 8000)

server.mount_proc '/' do |req, res|
  res.content_type = 'text/plain'
  res.body = 'Hello, world!'
end

server.start
210 chars
12 lines

This will create a basic HTTP server with a Connect route in Ruby.
