I have an external system sending HL7 messages via MLLP (I could use netty) and
if I specify localhost or 127.0.0.1 the external system says the port is not
open. If I use hostname, it works fine.
from("mllp://HOSTNAME:8888") This works
from("mllp://localhost:8888") this doesn't (for the external system anyway)
Is this a limitation of the mllp package I'm using, or just "nature of the
beast" camel behavior.
I'd like not to have to specify hostname explicitly so I can run this on any
machine I execute it on.
I assume it's exposing the port with the explicit hostname, since it has to
resolve it "further out" on the networking level than localhost?
Thanks!
