Ability to specify multiple listening IP addresses #151

Closed Robby- closed 4 years ago

Robby- commented 8 years ago

Having the ability to specify multiple listening IP addresses would be good to have, so that we do not need to leave listen-addr empty, which causes it to listen on every IP address available on the machine which is undesired. A use case for this is to for example have it listen on one IPv4 address and one IPv6 address.

Current syntax is this: listen <port> <type> [options] [flag] where <type> is one of bots, all, users, script, or off.

Since the type is always known, it should be possible to change the syntax to this: listen [ip-or-host] <port> <type> [options] [flag]

Eggdrop could check the 2nd and 3rd arguments for one of the types and parse the rest of the command accordingly.

Alternately, could we have listen-addr not overwrite itself, and stack them?

listen-addr 1.2.3.4 listen-addr ::whatever::

listens on those IPs?

Current proposal:

listen [ip] [args]

IP is optional, port can be identified by being an integer optionally started with + so no ambiguity. This would allow us to get rid of listen-addr completely.

Config example would be:

listen * 3333 all
