[Gaim-devel] Early autodetection of IP address?

[Evan S. <ev...@dr...>]

gaim_core_init() has:

	/*
	 * Call this early on to try to auto-detect our IP address and
	 * hopefully save some time later.
	 */
	gaim_network_get_my_ip(-1);

is there a good reason for this non-lazy determination of IP  
address?  The value is *only* used in file transfers (OSCAR, Jabber,  
IRC, QQ) with the exception of connecting via SIP and Novell.  It  
seems like by the general use case it should be lazy.
