Obviously fix only covered proper functionality and not UI ... Not that I'm bothered by that  ;)

I don't know if this would really work (and how to do it) in Windows, but how about running ethereal (or some other packet sniffing tool) against loopback device?

Wireshark is Ethereal ;) (OK, it's successor, I liked the former name more). But Win version does not show loopback as an available capture interface :(

I'll have to try it with some external host.
(Forgot, not possible, my external hosts do still run generics :)  A time for some steroids...)

I'd just like to point out that with BOINC core client version 5.9.X (and presumably all the newer ones), that introduces mechanism of alternative platforms, one has to modify app_info.xml. I ran into this problem and found a solution described in this post.

Just tested the new app_info.xml with old BOINC CC 5.8.15 and it works OK. With new BOINC CC, the new tag gets recorded into client_state.xml, while with the old one it doesn't. Just the way it should be  :)

Ahh, well, as it turns out, this was a bug and has been fixed in 5.9.11:


--- Code: ---- core client: when parse app_info.xml, set platform to primary platform. Otherwise anonymous platform mechanism doesn't work.
--- End code ---
