TCPSocket / UDPSocket do not accept IPAddr objects.

Feature #3953: TCPSocket / UDPSocket do not accept IPAddr objects.

Added by postmodern (Hal Brodigan) about 15 years ago. Updated almost 8 years ago.

Status:
Assigned
Assignee:

Target version:

[ruby-core:32824]

Description

=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

  • Description updated (diff)

If we implement this feature, we need a method for duck type, such as IPAddr#to_ipaddress to convert to IP-address string.
