Hello group,
For a particular sockets application I'm working on, I need to be able to
specify both the port number on the remote machine, *and* the port number
on the local machine. In other words, the function/method call to
establish the connection needs to look something like this:
...
socket = connect(remote_host, remote_port, local_port)
...
Any suggestions how to go about this? For "normal" apps, you don't usually
care about the local port number, but the security requirements of this
particular application mean that I have to specify it.
Thanks in advance for any pointers
