that DFFederator looks like it would become very handy... however my work
was due today and i've managed to deliver it successfully...
the problem i was having was related to a misspelled platform address.
Imagine this (using the HTTP add-on):
Agent A from platform 1 tries to register with the DF of platform 2. he
knows the correct address to send his messages but he misspells the
platform name (say he called it platform 22 instead of 2)
What do you think will happen? I was expecting an error, or the message
being ignored, but something else happens: DF of platform 2 takes over the
entire CPU and locks up completely, Agent A never gets a response to his
register action and also locks up.
I think this could be considered a bug (in Jade? in HTTP-MTP add-on?), don't
you?
Bye
