Re: [Sipwitch-devel] Interface Does Not Accept 0.0.0.0

[David Sugar]

That is an interesting question.  Offhand, the bind (interface) address
is passed to eXosip_listen_addr (stack.cpp:#710), so perhaps it is
hanging inside there?

Incidentally, if you use "*", or "::*", or even "::0", it converts to NULL,
and is passed to eXosip_listen_addr as NULL.  So my guess is that it is not
handling any passed or valid interface bind addresses, and not just that one.
The eXosip code is rather convoluted as to how an address string is finally
made into a socket bind call, so I really do hope it is not stuck somewhere in
there :)....

But I will have to investigate this a bit later today or Monday.

This could also be posted as a bug on our new bug tracking system :).

I also spent last week better organizing and standardizing the way
documentation can be done on the wiki...
