Hi,
looking at documentation for the configuration of the Acceptor, I see that only the
listen port can be configured. The source reveals that the SocketAcceptor listens
on all local interfaces (line 116):
108 SocketServer::SocketServer( int port, int timeout )
109 : m_port( port ), m_monitor( timeout )
110 {
111 m_socket = socket( PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 );
112 if ( m_socket < 0 ) throw std::exception();
113
114 m_address.sin_family = PF_INET;
115 m_address.sin_port = htons( port );
116 m_address.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
117 m_socklen = sizeof( m_address );
118
119 socket_setsockopt( m_socket );
120 if ( !bind() ) throw std::exception();
121 if ( !listen() ) throw std::exception();
122 m_monitor.add( m_socket );
123 }
The backlog is currently configured to the maximum value. This could be also configurable.
Since we work with virtual interface in the production environment, it would be important
if we could specify a distinct host/IP address to listen on. The default could remain e.g.
"*" which could mean INADDR_ANY.
Oren, shall I provide a patch to implement this?
Cheers, Jörg
