Returns truth value if this object uses STARTTLS. If this object always uses STARTTLS, returns :always. If this object uses STARTTLS when the server support TLS, returns :auto.
Creates a new Net::SMTP object and connects to the server.
This method is equivalent to:
Net::SMTP.new(address, port).start(helo_domain, account, password, authtype)
Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server') do |smtp| smtp.send_message msgstr, 'from@example.com', ['dest@example.com'] end
If called with a block, the newly-opened Net::SMTP object is yielded to the block, and automatically closed when the block finishes. If called without a block, the newly-opened Net::SMTP object is returned to the caller, and it is the caller’s responsibility to close it when finished.
address is the hostname or ip address of your smtp server.
port is the port to connect to; it defaults to port 25.
helo is the HELO domain provided by the client to the server (see overview comments); it defaults to ‘localhost’.
The remaining arguments are used for SMTP authentication, if required or desired. user is the account name; secret is your password or other authentication token; and authtype is the authentication type, one of :plain, :login, or :cram_md5. See the discussion of SMTP Authentication in the overview notes.
This method may raise:
true if the SMTP session has been started.
Opens a TCP connection and starts the SMTP session.
helo is the HELO domain that you’ll dispatch mails from; see the discussion in the overview notes.
If both of user and secret are given, SMTP authentication will be attempted using the AUTH command. authtype specifies the type of authentication to attempt; it must be one of :login, :plain, and :cram_md5. See the notes on SMTP Authentication in the overview.
When this methods is called with a block, the newly-started SMTP object is yielded to the block, and automatically closed after the block call finishes. Otherwise, it is the caller’s responsibility to close the session when finished.
This is very similar to the class method SMTP.start.
require 'net/smtp' smtp = Net::SMTP.new('smtp.mail.server', 25) smtp.start(helo_domain, account, password, authtype) do |smtp| smtp.send_message msgstr, 'from@example.com', ['dest@example.com'] end
The primary use of this method (as opposed to SMTP.start) is probably to set debugging (set_debug_output) or ESMTP (esmtp=), which must be done before the session is started.
If session has already been started, an IOError will be raised.
This method may raise:
Returns the path from an FTP URI.
RFC 1738 specifically states that the path for an FTP URI does not include the / which separates the URI path from the URI host. Example:
ftp://ftp.example.com/pub/ruby
The above URI indicates that the client should connect to ftp.example.com then cd pub/ruby from the initial login directory.
If you want to cd to an absolute directory, you must include an escaped / (%2F) in the path. Example:
ftp://ftp.example.com/%2Fpub/ruby
This method will then return “/pub/ruby”
Completion for hash key.
Gets the IP address of name from the hosts file.
Gets all IP addresses for name from the hosts file.
Gets the IP address of name from the DNS resolver.
name can be a Resolv::DNS::Name or a String. Retrieved address will be a Resolv::IPv4 or Resolv::IPv6
Gets all IP addresses for name from the DNS resolver.
name can be a Resolv::DNS::Name or a String. Retrieved addresses will be a Resolv::IPv4 or Resolv::IPv6
Creates a new IPv6 address from arg which may be:
IPv6
returns arg.
arg must match one of the IPv6::Regex* constants
Evaluates whether the given string matches an entity definition, returning true if so, and false otherwise.
A predicate filters a node-set with respect to an axis to produce a new node-set. For each node in the node-set to be filtered, the PredicateExpr is evaluated with that node as the context node, with the number of nodes in the node-set as the context size, and with the proximity position of the node in the node-set with respect to the axis as the context position; if PredicateExpr evaluates to true for that node, the node is included in the new node-set; otherwise, it is not included.
A PredicateExpr is evaluated by evaluating the Expr and converting the result to a boolean. If the result is a number, the result will be converted to true if the number is equal to the context position and will be converted to false otherwise; if the result is not a number, then the result will be converted as if by a call to the boolean function. Thus a location path para is equivalent to para.
