Re: Tcl script fails on some platforms

Hi

this is exactly why I was looking at implementing the loopback (I have
a whole site of potential users who can't use the software, and I
suspected it's because of their very secure firewall & proxy setup, so
I was trying to avoid socket connections that might look like they
were not local). I would prefer loopback in any case because
everything does happen on a local machine.

However, I know that my machine has an ethernet connection, and this
was the machine where I managed to simulate the failure by specifying
loopback in the Tcl socket creation. So I guess I'm back to looking at
the socket creation code (which actually looks *very* similar to that
in Welch's book - I think it was cribbed from there!).

thanks for this - I think I'm starting to make some progress in
understanding this.
