Bug#780901: fldigi: Hamlib Net (aka rigctld) rig, does not accept hostnames
Package: fldigi
Version: 3.22.01-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
It took me quite a while to figure out what went wrong.
I would like to use fldigi together with rigctld so I can access the rig from different programms at the same time.
Or maybe some day when I figure out how to re-route audio from one host to another with pulseaudio, also having
a way to use my rig from a remote location.
Other programs have no problem connecting to rigctld over the internet. Not so fldigi. It always produced an hamlib i/o error
when I did try to configure the hamlib rig as 'hamlib net' connecting to localhost:4532 or 'myFQDN.example:4532'
Finaly I did try to connect to 127.0.0.1:4532 and it worked. So I suppose the problem is, that fldigi does not try
to resolve the connection string from a hostname to an IP.
Would it possible to add that 'feature'?
