Just Talking to My Self

There is something rather trippy about debugging a server that opens a socket and talks to itself.  Have to pay really close attention or Delphi will trace back into the server again, and all of a sudden you are someplace entirely different in the application.  Of course if you have a break point that gets triggered by the connection you had better disable it before you connect again.

Now to figure out if the server can get the information it needs from itself without going through a socket connection to itself.  I can see that being a bad scenario if it keeps opening new sockets back to itself again. . . .

Almost as much  fun as leaving comments and ping backs on your own blog.
