Q:

ruby socket programming using credentials

HI folks,
I'm trying to establish connection to a remote server using ruby socket connection TcpSocket.
I started with TcpSocket.new(port,host)
Now, How do I pass the credentials to it.
The remote server needs credentials to allow me to connect.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

A:

you must say with port and layer 7 protocol you are trying to use. A TCP socket itself don't n need any authentication. Probably you are trying to establish a layer 7 protocol connection (ftp, http, pop3) and then you will need a credential. If you specifiy in which port you are trying to connect maybe would be easier to help you
