I think that is correct. The problem of finding the IP address of the public interface is just another problem. May be I'm wrong, but I believe localhost has a precise definition already, it's not an invitation for us to ponder about the probable interpretations of the separate words local + host. Again, as it says in Wikipedia: "Localhost always translates to the loopback IP address 127.0.0.1 in IPv4, or ::1 in IPv6" Cheers and thanks for your work. r On Sun, Mar 14, 2010 at 6:29 PM, John M McIntosh < johnmci@smalltalkconsulting.com> wrote:
Ok, well obviously I need someone to define the problem if the fix was just to return 127.0.0.1 as the result of localhostAddress. But I *think* someone wants to know what the public interface address is, so they can choose to bind to a particular IF, or publish it somehow.
But maybe I'm wrong..

Yes, pre-SocketAddress. We have left the class SocketAddress in the image but without the additional behavior.
