Non-numeric port numbers

vod · 07-15-2002, 10:57 AM

I noticed this the other day when i accdently added a "`" to a port number of a site. When I tried to connect to it, it would not connect, after I removed the "`" it worked fine. Since Flash does not tell me ip/port its connecting to until after its connected, im not really sure what port it did try to connect to. Shouldnt it require only numbers for port?

No validation is performed on the port number. In future versions we may change this.

It would be great is some validation could be added. I vote yes

Another thing that I would like to see if the 'option' to display the ip

ort after the site name when connecting. So when I name it MONKEY and enter its details, then when connect to it:

Connecting to: MONKEY
(normally)

But with preferences "show site server/ip" [x]
Connecting to: MONKEY 127.0.0.1:21

I hope you understand what I mean, ofcourse, it is not really a big thing, just a little feature request for possible future versions.
