I'm looking for one of two things:
1) If I have a sockaddr_in, how do I get it into an
InternetAddress?
First of all, you may not actually need an InternetAddress.
Modern code working with addresses should be address-agnostic, so
it should take an Address instead. Ideally, you should avoid
doing anything address-family-specific - then, it will work with
any address family, incl. any introduced in the future.
You could:
- Create an UnknownAddressReference which uses a pointer to your
sockaddr_in.
- Create an InternetAddress, then copy the address over its
"name" property.
2) If it is agreed that there should be a shorter way, I'm
willing to write the code, but would need a little guidance as
to where would be the appropriate place to put the code (New
overload to parseAddress? New constructor for InternetAddress?)
A new constructor for InternetAddress won't hurt.
