             Summary: Porting Issue -- gethostname() is part of winsock library
                 Key: PROTON-239
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-239
             Project: Qpid Proton
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: proton-c
         Environment: Windows using Visual Studio 2010
            Reporter: Mary hinton
             Fix For: 0.4



In Visual Studio, gethostname() is found within the winsock library. To use it 
in proton.c, we have to include the winsock header and make sure the 
WSAStartup() (used to initialize the windows socket library) has already been 
called by pn_driver(). 

I was wondering if we could isolate the winsock header so that it is only 
included in driver.c.

We could set up a new function in driver.c called pn_gethostname() whose only 
function is to call gethostname().

int pn_gethostname(char *name, int namelen)
{
        return gethostname(name, namelen);
}
