TCP Endpoint to check IP address of "localhost"
-----------------------------------------------
Key: RIVER-389
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-389
Project: River
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Tom Hobbs
>From the River User mailing list where someone reports a problem starting
>services because of network configuration"
"This is exactly the kind of complication that makes "getting started" pretty
painful. Many people would find this to be so odd that they would not even ask
for help believing that the software had been compiled with a private network
or that something else was broken in river.
"We've answered exactly this question with exactly this solution many times as
I recall. The fact that "security" requires "addresses" to be "correct" is one
of the no-start issues that will be very prevalent.
"I believe that we should have the TCP endpoint costructor do a lookup of
localhost and if it is not 127.0.0.1, log a message, and potentially throw an
IOException, demanding it be fixed."
