[ptp-dev] Question about setting local address for proxy connection

[Dave Wootton <dwootton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Is it possible to change the proxy startup so that I don't need to specify 
the proxy local connection address for my proxy? This isn't  a serious 
problem if I'm working from a fixed IP address, although it's just one 
more piece of information I have to fill in.

The problem is that if I'm using different IP addresses because of DHCP, 
VPN or otherwise is that proxies that were running when I shut down 
Eclipse the last time don't start properly. If I have a running proxy, 
then the following happens

I shutdown Eclipse
When I restart Eclipse, the running proxy goes to the blue state and I 
can't get it back to gray state
Shutdown and restart Eclipse
Now the formerly running proxy is in the gray state
Determine my IP address
Edit the proxy configuration
Select my IP address or hostname from the dropdown list or enter it if 
it's not there
Start the proxy

Is it possible for Eclipse to figure out the proper IP address or hostname 
to use and pass that IP address to the proxy?
