Well, through much googleing I have finally come up with a script that works well to receive messages from other hosts. Yay! I am using this to recieve HL7 messages from a computer that is blindly sending them.
require 'gserver'class Connection < GServer def initialize(port=3003, *args) super(port, *args) Socket.do_not_reverse_lookup = true #I set this true bc I have dns problems end def serve(io) msg = io.recvfrom(10240) #I only want to get upto 10mb of info puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%I:%M:%S%p on %a %b %d, %Y')}" puts "#{msg}" endend
