[erlang-questions] Simple TCP Server

[Ari King]

I incorporated the suggestions and it solved the issue of setting up a
socket to listen on a specified port(line 5). However, a new issue has
risen while attempting to accept a connection on the listening socket. The
error message follows:

=ERROR REPORT==== 18-Dec-2013::17:32:47 ===
Error in process <0.32.0> with exit value:
{{badmatch,{error,closed}},[{mock_tcp,connect,2,[{file,"mock_tcp.erl"},{line,12}]}]}

I'm starting the server via erl -s mock_tcp start 8080 <path_to_file>

-module(mock_tcp).
-export([start/1]).

start([AtomPort, AtomFilename]) ->
  Port = list_to_integer(atom_to_list(AtomPort)),
  Filename = atom_to_list(AtomFilename),
  {ok, Listen} = gen_tcp:listen(Port, [binary, {reuseaddr, true}]),
  spawn(fun() -> connect(Listen, Filename) end),
  io:format("Server available on port ~p. Reading from file ~p.", [Port,
Filename]).

connect(Listen, Filename) ->
  % Following line causes the error
  {ok, Socket} = gen_tcp:accept(Listen),
  spawn(fun() -> connect(Listen, Filename) end),
  {ok, Device} = file:open(Filename, read),
  get_data(Device, Socket).

get_data(Device, Socket) ->
  case io:get_line(Device) of
    {ok, Data} ->
      gen_tcp:send(Socket, Data),
      get_data(Device, Socket);
    eof ->
      file:close(Device),
      gen_tcp:close(Socket)
  end.

Thanks.
