TurboFloat and invalid or not responding server

Is it possible for you, to make method TF_SaveServer check correctness of server? For example, saving server IP such as "1.1" doesn't make sense.

It's not a valid IP address, but it might be a valid hostname. For example, editing /etc/hosts you can make "1.1" resolve to a proper IP address.

That's a long way of saying, the current behavior of TF_SaveServer is correct. It accepts IP addresses and host names.

Would be possible to set some timeout for this? If I request Lease in the GUI while starting app, it is stucked for that time, and then just show error message - it is not very user friendly.

In version 4.0 there will be a 60 second timeout. If no successful communication happens within 60 seconds then the connection to the server is assume to not exist (or not be possible). And it will return a timeout error.

Thank you very much Wyatt for your answer!

I forgot to think about hostnames. In that case I agree with you.

But, would it be possible to set custom timeout? Maybe for us I think 10 seconds would be enough to find out, whether server exists or not. I think, it would not be hard change to make it work for you.

We'll consider it. Perhaps we'll just lower the default timeout to 30 seconds.
