Just using the accept connections will get you that. The message sent
is
in the form of 127.0.0.1:50565. That is, ip:port
Now, *why* that is a different port than I was listening on is beyond
me .
. .
The port you use at the 'accept' point is the port to which a connection
needs to be made by the client.
When the server accepts the connection it essentially creates a new
socket which connects to the client at the other end. The different port
number is the reflection of the fact that it is the server-side end of
the client's socket.
I guess you could think of it as a 'switch-board' in a sense - accepting
sockets are the operator, as soon as a request is received a server-side
connection point is created and the incoming request is patched directly
to it... It no longer goes through the operator.
