# File lib/eventmachine.rb, line 617 def self.connect server, port=nil, handler=nil, *args, &blk # EventMachine::connect initiates a TCP connection to a remote # server and sets up event-handling for the connection. # It internally creates an object that should not be handled # by the caller. HOWEVER, it's often convenient to get the # object to set up interfacing to other objects in the system. # We return the newly-created anonymous-class object to the caller. # It's expected that a considerable amount of code will depend # on this behavior, so don't change it. # # Ok, added support for a user-defined block, 13Apr06. # This leads us to an interesting choice because of the # presence of the post_init call, which happens in the # initialize method of the new object. We call the user's # block and pass the new object to it. This is a great # way to do protocol-specific initiation. It happens # AFTER post_init has been called on the object, which I # certainly hope is the right choice. # Don't change this lightly, because accepted connections # are different from connected ones and we don't want # to have them behave differently with respect to post_init # if at all possible. bind_connect nil, nil, server, port, handler, *args, &blk end
