Comment 4 for bug 1355641

(thanks for the very quick & efficient bug-handling ; donated)

I concur with the issue of possible problems with clients expecting the current string ; port number is hence a valid differentiator for CC.

Nevertheless, wouldn't it be a feasible (and elegant) construction to define a host string change through an optional parameter in the "calibre-server" CLI app, considering the fact that people using 'calibre-server' are quite aware of what they're dealing with ?

Currently and as a (hopefully temporary) workaround, for each running instance I copy the code tree and hexedit the string in base.pyo . This works fine, but is both cumbersome and inefficient.

(sidenote : in its server connection list, CC detects/shows 2 identical entries for each instance ; does this warrant a bug report ?)
