I really don't know. I thought Geoff said traditional sockets were the best, perhaps only practical form of IPC besides pipes, but don't want to put words in his mouth so will cc to him. > I'm not particularly comfortable with ports tbh. > I suspect whatever we do will have to have some differences between Unix and > windows. Connecting using traditional sockets on network ports, all through loopback, really doesn't bother me at all, if ports can be reconfigured in .ebrc - well, doesn't bother me as much as having different systems on the two OSs. If this is the best / only way for windows, or even a practical way on windows, then let's just do it across the board. We've already confirmed my socket layer works portably across both - would probably be easy to add in udp capability if needed. but I'm sure Geoff knows more than I do here. Other practical/flexible IPC on Windows? Or any issues with loopback sockets in network ports?
