Re: [ptp-dev] Proxy Protocol
|
Static ports are a security hole, as Craig points out. Also, they
require additional privileges unless you're going to use a non-
standard port number. Finally, they don't fit with our minimal impact
model. We want PTP to be deployable without requiring system
administrator access, without special permissions, and without
leaving long running processes on the machine. In effect, the proxy
should use no more resources than a normal user.

Yes, but multiple proxy instances is just one reason. Security is
also another reason for not using a static port. While some
installations may be blocking port connections, you should always
be able to tunnel back through your ssh connection to Eclipse.

Hi, Craig
Thanks a lot for the clarification. So the rationale for proxy to
connect back Eclipse instead of proxy listening to a static port
is there could be multiple instances of proxy running on the same
machine, there will be binding conflicts ... is it right?
