Its obvious that many people need this, and have implemented it with the same hack as czmq. > Why is it disabled in libzmq? It is disabled because in ZeroMQ, by design, there is no way to work with individual underlying connections of a socket. Hence, there is no API equivalent to e.g. getsockname() which you could use to get the port back from the OS. If you can think of a way to make this work, without exposing the details of the individual connections to the application, and without a backward-incompatible API change, please propose it (or even better, make a patch). -mato -- Martin Lucina <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
