Simplest possible rack app -> permission error
- by 7stud
Here's the program(1.rb) blah blah blah blah blah blah:
require 'rack'
my_rack = lambda { |env| [200, {}, ["Hello. The time is: #{Time.now}"]] }
handler = Rack::Handler::WEBrick
handler.run(my_rack, :PORT => 12_500)
Here's the error (blah blah blah blah blah):

Here's line 85 of ../webrick/utils.rb:
sock = TCPServer.new(ai[3], port)
If I replace the code in 1.rb with this:
require 'socket'
server = TCPServer.new 12_000 # Server bind to port 2000
loop do
client = server.accept # Wait for a client to connect
client.puts "Hello !"
client.puts "Time is #{Time.now}"
client.close
end
I don't get any errors, and if I enter the address:
http://localhost:12000/
in my browser, I get the expected output:
Hello !
Time is 2012-12-07 18:58:15 -0700
