I started using 0.0.0.0 since I started working on proton and dispatch, I never used it with qpid c++. Just copying like an idiot. I have a vague impression there was a discussion about it being "better". It *is* definitely better on the *server* side, maybe it just spilled over into client side use without careful thought. Looking at the ip(7) man page it does appear to be just plain wrong for use on client. As Rafi said it is not a special proton thing - "ssh 0.0.0.0" also works. I guess most TCP stacks treat 0.0.0.0 as 127.0.0.1 but I don't know if there is a standard that says you MUST treat 0.0.0.0 as 127.0.0.1 so maybe it's not a reliable thing to use. Definitely jython does something completely daft on my laptop if VPN is on.
