Hi all,
Please review this small documentation change to the example I added
to RMISocketFactory a couple weeks ago [1]. This change fixes a
problem that Bernd Eckenfels pointed out [2] where the interface
returned by getLoopbackAddress() might not match the interface that
"localhost" resolves to.
We don't have support for IPv4-only or IPv6-only listeners (at least not
with stream oriented sockets, there is support for protocol specific
datagram sockets but that doesn't apply here). So I'm curious about the
original comments and whether there are configurations or loopback
address plumbing where getLoopbackAddress doesn't do the right thing?
