…/ CreateListenSocketInternal() Added RetrieveAddresses() function and modified CreateListenSocket and CreateListenSocketInternal() to include a specified ip address to bind to (by directing getaddrinfo() to look for a specific IP address instead of NULL, which seems to stop at the first default address, which if an IPv6 address, means we cannot create a listen socket if the system is IPv4)

This is part of a dirty attempt to get a list of IP addresses on the PC and return them (as a string with each IP address on a new line... because I don't know how else to do it), and then be able to specify whichever one of these we choose when creating a listening socket to bind to a specific IP address instead of being at the mercy of whichever one getaddrinfo() finds first. At least I think that's how it works. |
