2. How did you garantee that others applications aren't being using
the same port as your application to avoind conflicts?
I looked at the official IANA list of registered port numbers and
chose a
port number that hasn't been taken yet.
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
Under FreeBSD you can review the /etc/services file. I believe Linux
has
something similar. Or simply use the URL above.
Thanks for that link, I didn't know.
But I meant, how do you know if another app is already using a port
that you want to use?
This is the reason I think web servers are the wrong way to go for any
desktop application (Golang is going crazy with everything being an http
server). Because ensuring ports are open is a pain in the butt, plus all
the firewall issues.
Chromium embedded/firefox embedded needs no ports open, But maybe it's
not your need
