That sounds good to me. > Typical application logic does not use any kind of fallback paths, like "if > daemon failed with these options, let's try to start with other options". We used to actually do that before we started using MHD_OPTION_LISTEN_SOCKET. We'd try again without (MHD_USE_IPv6 | MHD_USE_DUAL_STACK). I agree that it's not a particularly important consideration though. The caller can always dup() the socket beforehand if they want to try again on error. > The code for v1.x will be fixed to close the socket always (unless there are > strong arguments against it) and documented correctly. That's great. Thank you! Mike.
