Issue #3953 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh). Target version set to next minor ---------------------------------------- Feature #3953: TCPSocket / UDPSocket do not accept IPAddr objects. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/3953#change-33224 Author: postmodern (Hal Brodigan) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: knu (Akinori MUSHA) Category: ext Target version: next minor =begin I noticed that TCPSocket/UDPSocket only accept String IPs/Hostnames, but not IPAddr objects. This is counter-intuitive since IP Addresses, along with Hostnames, are used to connect/bind to sockets. require 'socket' require 'resolv' ip = IPAddr.new(Resolv.getaddress('www.example.com')) sock = TCPSocket.new(ip,80) TypeError: can't convert IPAddr into String from (irb):5:in `initialize' from (irb):5:in `new' from (irb):5 =end -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
