-# == Overview
-#
-# dRuby is a distributed object system for Ruby.  It allows an object in one
-# Ruby process to invoke methods on an object in another Ruby process on the
-# same or a different machine.
-#
-# The Ruby standard library contains the core classes of the dRuby package.
-# However, the full package also includes access control lists and the
-# Rinda tuple-space distributed task management system, as well as a
-# large number of samples.  The full dRuby package can be downloaded from
-# the dRuby home page (see *References*).
-#
-# For an introduction and examples of usage see the documentation to the
-# DRb module.

-#
-# == Overview
-#
-# dRuby is a distributed object system for Ruby.  It is written in
-# pure Ruby and uses its own protocol.  No add-in services are needed
-# beyond those provided by the Ruby runtime, such as TCP sockets.  It
-# does not rely on or interoperate with other distributed object
-# systems such as CORBA, RMI, or .NET.
-#
-# dRuby allows methods to be called in one Ruby process upon a Ruby
-# object located in another Ruby process, even on another machine.
-# References to objects can be passed between processes.  Method
-# arguments and return values are dumped and loaded in marshalled
-# format.  All of this is done transparently to both the caller of the
-# remote method and the object that it is called upon.
-#
-# An object in a remote process is locally represented by a
-# DRb::DRbObject instance.  This acts as a sort of proxy for the
-# remote object.  Methods called upon this DRbObject instance are
-# forwarded to its remote object.  This is arranged dynamically at run
-# time.  There are no statically declared interfaces for remote
-# objects, such as CORBA's IDL.
-#
-# dRuby calls made into a process are handled by a DRb::DRbServer
-# instance within that process.  This reconstitutes the method call,
-# invokes it upon the specified local object, and returns the value to
-# the remote caller.  Any object can receive calls over dRuby.  There
-# is no need to implement a special interface, or mixin special
-# functionality.  Nor, in the general case, does an object need to
-# explicitly register itself with a DRbServer in order to receive
-# dRuby calls.
-#
-# One process wishing to make dRuby calls upon another process must
-# somehow obtain an initial reference to an object in the remote
-# process by some means other than as the return value of a remote
-# method call, as there is initially no remote object reference it can
-# invoke a method upon.  This is done by attaching to the server by
-# URI.  Each DRbServer binds itself to a URI such as
-# 'druby://example.com:8787'.  A DRbServer can have an object attached
-# to it that acts as the server's *front* *object*.  A DRbObject can
-# be explicitly created from the server's URI.  This DRbObject's
-# remote object will be the server's front object.  This front object
-# can then return references to other Ruby objects in the DRbServer's
-# process.
-#
-# Method calls made over dRuby behave largely the same as normal Ruby
-# method calls made within a process.  Method calls with blocks are
-# supported, as are raising exceptions.  In addition to a method's
-# standard errors, a dRuby call may also raise one of the
-# dRuby-specific errors, all of which are subclasses of DRb::DRbError.
-#
-# Any type of object can be passed as an argument to a dRuby call or
-# returned as its return value.  By default, such objects are dumped
-# or marshalled at the local end, then loaded or unmarshalled at the
-# remote end.  The remote end therefore receives a copy of the local
-# object, not a distributed reference to it; methods invoked upon this
-# copy are executed entirely in the remote process, not passed on to
-# the local original.  This has semantics similar to pass-by-value.
-#
-# However, if an object cannot be marshalled, a dRuby reference to it
-# is passed or returned instead.  This will turn up at the remote end
-# as a DRbObject instance.  All methods invoked upon this remote proxy
-# are forwarded to the local object, as described in the discussion of
-# DRbObjects.  This has semantics similar to the normal Ruby
-# pass-by-reference.
-#
-# The easiest way to signal that we want an otherwise marshallable
-# object to be passed or returned as a DRbObject reference, rather
-# than marshalled and sent as a copy, is to include the
-# DRb::DRbUndumped mixin module.
-#
-# dRuby supports calling remote methods with blocks.  As blocks (or
-# rather the Proc objects that represent them) are not marshallable,
-# the block executes in the local, not the remote, context.  Each
-# value yielded to the block is passed from the remote object to the
-# local block, then the value returned by each block invocation is
-# passed back to the remote execution context to be collected, before
-# the collected values are finally returned to the local context as
-# the return value of the method invocation.
-#
-# == Examples of usage
-#
-# For more dRuby samples, see the +samples+ directory in the full
-# dRuby distribution.
-#
-# === dRuby in client/server mode
-#
-# This illustrates setting up a simple client-server drb
-# system.  Run the server and client code in different terminals,
-# starting the server code first.
-#
-# ==== Server code
-#
-#   require 'drb/drb'
-#
-#   # The URI for the server to connect to
-#   URI="druby://localhost:8787"
-#
-#   class TimeServer
-#
-#     def get_current_time
-#       return Time.now
-#     end
-#
-#   end
-#
-#   # The object that handles requests on the server
-#   FRONT_OBJECT=TimeServer.new
-#
-#   DRb.start_service(URI, FRONT_OBJECT)
-#   # Wait for the drb server thread to finish before exiting.
-#   DRb.thread.join
-#
-# ==== Client code
-#
-#   require 'drb/drb'
-#
-#   # The URI to connect to
-#   SERVER_URI="druby://localhost:8787"
-#
-#   # Start a local DRbServer to handle callbacks.
-#   #
-#   # Not necessary for this small example, but will be required
-#   # as soon as we pass a non-marshallable object as an argument
-#   # to a dRuby call.
-#   #
-#   # Note: this must be called at least once per process to take any effect.
-#   # This is particularly important if your application forks.
-#   DRb.start_service
-#
-#   timeserver = DRbObject.new_with_uri(SERVER_URI)
-#   puts timeserver.get_current_time
-#
-# === Remote objects under dRuby
-#
-# This example illustrates returning a reference to an object
-# from a dRuby call.  The Logger instances live in the server
-# process.  References to them are returned to the client process,
-# where methods can be invoked upon them.  These methods are
-# executed in the server process.
-#
-# ==== Server code
-#
-#   require 'drb/drb'
-#
-#   URI="druby://localhost:8787"
-#
-#   class Logger
-#
-#       # Make dRuby send Logger instances as dRuby references,
-#       # not copies.
-#       include DRb::DRbUndumped
-#
-#       def initialize(n, fname)
-#           @name = n
-#           @filename = fname
-#       end
-#
-#       def log(message)
-#           File.open(@filename, "a") do |f|
-#               f.puts("#{Time.now}: #{@name}: #{message}")
-#           end
-#       end
-#
-#   end
-#
-#   # We have a central object for creating and retrieving loggers.
-#   # This retains a local reference to all loggers created.  This
-#   # is so an existing logger can be looked up by name, but also
-#   # to prevent loggers from being garbage collected.  A dRuby
-#   # reference to an object is not sufficient to prevent it being
-#   # garbage collected!
-#   class LoggerFactory
-#
-#       def initialize(bdir)
-#           @basedir = bdir
-#           @loggers = {}
-#       end
-#
-#       def get_logger(name)
-#           if !@loggers.has_key? name
-#               # make the filename safe, then declare it to be so
-#               fname = name.gsub(/[.\/\\\:]/, "_")
-#               @loggers[name] = Logger.new(name, @basedir + "/" + fname)
-#           end
-#           return @loggers[name]
-#       end
-#
-#   end
-#
-#   FRONT_OBJECT=LoggerFactory.new("/tmp/dlog")
-#
-#   DRb.start_service(URI, FRONT_OBJECT)
-#   DRb.thread.join
-#
-# ==== Client code
-#
-#   require 'drb/drb'
-#
-#   SERVER_URI="druby://localhost:8787"
-#
-#   DRb.start_service
-#
-#   log_service=DRbObject.new_with_uri(SERVER_URI)
-#
-#   ["loga", "logb", "logc"].each do |logname|
-#
-#       logger=log_service.get_logger(logname)
-#
-#       logger.log("Hello, world!")
-#       logger.log("Goodbye, world!")
-#       logger.log("=== EOT ===")
-#
-#   end
-#
-# == Security
-#
-# As with all network services, security needs to be considered when
-# using dRuby.  By allowing external access to a Ruby object, you are
-# not only allowing outside clients to call the methods you have
-# defined for that object, but by default to execute arbitrary Ruby
-# code on your server.  Consider the following:
-#
-#    # !!! UNSAFE CODE !!!
-#    ro = DRbObject::new_with_uri("druby://your.server.com:8989")
-#    class << ro
-#      undef :instance_eval  # force call to be passed to remote object
-#    end
-#    ro.instance_eval("`rm -rf *`")
-#
-# The dangers posed by instance_eval and friends are such that a
-# DRbServer should only be used when clients are trusted.
-#
-# A DRbServer can be configured with an access control list to
-# selectively allow or deny access from specified IP addresses.  The
-# main druby distribution provides the ACL class for this purpose.  In
-# general, this mechanism should only be used alongside, rather than
-# as a replacement for, a good firewall.
-#
-# == dRuby internals
-#
-# dRuby is implemented using three main components: a remote method
-# call marshaller/unmarshaller; a transport protocol; and an
-# ID-to-object mapper.  The latter two can be directly, and the first
-# indirectly, replaced, in order to provide different behaviour and
-# capabilities.
-#
-# Marshalling and unmarshalling of remote method calls is performed by
-# a DRb::DRbMessage instance.  This uses the Marshal module to dump
-# the method call before sending it over the transport layer, then
-# reconstitute it at the other end.  There is normally no need to
-# replace this component, and no direct way is provided to do so.
-# However, it is possible to implement an alternative marshalling
-# scheme as part of an implementation of the transport layer.
-#
-# The transport layer is responsible for opening client and server
-# network connections and forwarding dRuby request across them.
-# Normally, it uses DRb::DRbMessage internally to manage marshalling
-# and unmarshalling.  The transport layer is managed by
-# DRb::DRbProtocol.  Multiple protocols can be installed in
-# DRbProtocol at the one time; selection between them is determined by
-# the scheme of a dRuby URI.  The default transport protocol is
-# selected by the scheme 'druby:', and implemented by
-# DRb::DRbTCPSocket.  This uses plain TCP/IP sockets for
-# communication.  An alternative protocol, using UNIX domain sockets,
-# is implemented by DRb::DRbUNIXSocket in the file drb/unix.rb, and
-# selected by the scheme 'drbunix:'.  A sample implementation over
-# HTTP can be found in the samples accompanying the main dRuby
-# distribution.
-#
-# The ID-to-object mapping component maps dRuby object ids to the
-# objects they refer to, and vice versa.  The implementation to use
-# can be specified as part of a DRb::DRbServer's configuration.  The
-# default implementation is provided by DRb::DRbIdConv.  It uses an
-# object's ObjectSpace id as its dRuby id.  This means that the dRuby
-# reference to that object only remains meaningful for the lifetime of
-# the object's process and the lifetime of the object within that
-# process.  A modified implementation is provided by DRb::TimerIdConv
-# in the file drb/timeridconv.rb.  This implementation retains a local
-# reference to all objects exported over dRuby for a configurable
-# period of time (defaulting to ten minutes), to prevent them being
-# garbage-collected within this time.  Another sample implementation
-# is provided in sample/name.rb in the main dRuby distribution.  This
-# allows objects to specify their own id or "name".  A dRuby reference
-# can be made persistent across processes by having each process
-# register an object using the same dRuby name.
-#

-  # Module managing the underlying network protocol(s) used by drb.
-  #
-  # By default, drb uses the DRbTCPSocket protocol.  Other protocols
-  # can be defined.  A protocol must define the following class methods:
-  #
-  #   [open(uri, config)] Open a client connection to the server at +uri+,
-  #                       using configuration +config+.  Return a protocol
-  #                       instance for this connection.
-  #   [open_server(uri, config)] Open a server listening at +uri+,
-  #                              using configuration +config+.  Return a
-  #                              protocol instance for this listener.
-  #   [uri_option(uri, config)] Take a URI, possibly containing an option
-  #                             component (e.g. a trailing '?param=val'),
-  #                             and return a [uri, option] tuple.
-  #
-  # All of these methods should raise a DRbBadScheme error if the URI
-  # does not identify the protocol they support (e.g. "druby:" for
-  # the standard Ruby protocol).  This is how the DRbProtocol module,
-  # given a URI, determines which protocol implementation serves that
-  # protocol.
-  #
-  # The protocol instance returned by #open_server must have the
-  # following methods:
-  #
-  # [accept] Accept a new connection to the server.  Returns a protocol
-  #          instance capable of communicating with the client.
-  # [close] Close the server connection.
-  # [uri] Get the URI for this server.
-  #
-  # The protocol instance returned by #open must have the following methods:
-  #
-  # [send_request (ref, msg_id, arg, b)]
-  #      Send a request to +ref+ with the given message id and arguments.
-  #      This is most easily implemented by calling DRbMessage.send_request,
-  #      providing a stream that sits on top of the current protocol.
-  # [recv_reply]
-  #      Receive a reply from the server and return it as a [success-boolean,
-  #      reply-value] pair.  This is most easily implemented by calling
-  #      DRb.recv_reply, providing a stream that sits on top of the
-  #      current protocol.
-  # [alive?]
-  #      Is this connection still alive?
-  # [close]
-  #      Close this connection.
-  #
-  # The protocol instance returned by #open_server().accept() must have
-  # the following methods:
-  #
-  # [recv_request]
-  #     Receive a request from the client and return a [object, message,
-  #     args, block] tuple.  This is most easily implemented by calling
-  #     DRbMessage.recv_request, providing a stream that sits on top of
-  #     the current protocol.
-  # [send_reply(succ, result)]
-  #     Send a reply to the client.  This is most easily implemented
-  #     by calling DRbMessage.send_reply, providing a stream that sits
-  #     on top of the current protocol.
-  # [close]
-  #     Close this connection.
-  #
-  # A new protocol is registered with the DRbProtocol module using
-  # the add_protocol method.
-  #

-  # and HTTP0 in sample/http0.rb and sample/http0serv.rb in the full
