-----------------------------------
Summary: proactor api - flexible, parse-free addressing
Key: PROTON-1470
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1470
Project: Qpid Proton
Issue Type: Bug
Components: proton-c
Affects Versions: 0.17.0
Reporter: Alan Conway
Assignee: Alan Conway
Fix For: 0.18.0
pn_proactor_connect and listen take a const char* string as the network
address. This creates ambiguity about what the string means. URLs are complex
to parse and construct and pn_url_t has been deprecated because it does not
follow the URL standards well. Ad-hoc string formats like "host:port" are
confusing since IPv6 host addresses can contains ":" characters.
Provide a simple pn_netaddr_t that can
- provide a unquoted, separate host and port strings to connect and listen
- inspect incoming addresses as standard struct sockaddr
- get a readable, but not parsable, string from any network address
- is extensible, in a binary compatible way, to support other address types for
connect/listen in future
Note it is not a requirement (yet) to be able to connect/listen using an
arbitrary sockaddr but it should be possible to add such support in future in a
source and binary compatible way.
