| 99 | | We need a way to determine we should pass in '''{{{0.0.0.0}}}''' or '''{{{::}}}''' as the '''{{{host_name}}}''' parameter when instantizte the '''{{{ACE_INET_Addr}}}''' objects. Although passing the ip address seems to be the right way to determine the protocol version at runtime, adding a new configuration parameter in '''{{{serverconfig.ini}}}''' is a much simpler and more reliable solution – the machine IP is specified by the '''{{{MachineIp}}}''' parameter, but it can happen that the user doesn’t input any ip address at all in '''{{{serverconfig.ini}}}'''. So adding one more parameter is a better idea. The parameter will be added into '''{{{GeneralProperties}}}''' section following the '''{{{MachineIp}}}''' parameter. |

| | 99 | We need a way to determine if we should pass in '''{{{0.0.0.0}}}''' or '''{{{::}}}''' as the '''{{{host_name}}}''' parameter when instantiate the '''{{{ACE_INET_Addr}}}''' objects. Checking the machine IP address is a right way to determine the protocol version at runtime. The machine IP is specified by the '''{{{MachineIp}}}''' parameter in '''{{{serverconfig.ini}}}'''. Now the '''{{{MachineIp}}}''' parameter is optional. And if it’s not specified, '''{{{127.0.0.1}}}''' will be used as the default value. This behavior doesn’t have to be changed. A summary is: |
| | 100 | |
| | 101 | ||'''Value'''||'''Behavior'''||'''Listen to''' |
| | 102 | ||Empty||127.0.0.1 will be used as the default value. ||0.0.0.0 |
| | 103 | ||In IPv4 format||Entered value will be sued as machine IP ||0.0.0.0 |
| | 104 | ||In non-IPv4 format||Entered value will be sued as machine IP||:: |
