Explicit set of AddressFamily of AmqpEndpoint does not work

[pantonis]

When I try to set the Address family of the AmqpEndpoint explicitly to InterNetwork the value still remains Unspecified

ConnectionFactory = new ConnectionFactory()
            {
                HostName = connectionFactorySettings.HostName,
                VirtualHost = connectionFactorySettings.VirtualHost,
                UserName = connectionFactorySettings.Username,
                Password = connectionFactorySettings.Password,
                Port = connectionFactorySettings.Port,
                AutomaticRecoveryEnabled = true
            };

            ConnectionFactory.Endpoint.AddressFamily = System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork;

Thank you for your time.

Team RabbitMQ uses GitHub issues for specific actionable items engineers can work on. GitHub issues are not used for questions, investigations, root cause analysis, discussions of potential issues, etc (as defined by this team).

We get at least a dozen of questions through various venues every single day, often light on details.
At that rate GitHub issues can very quickly turn into a something impossible to navigate and make sense of even for our team. Because GitHub is a tool our team uses heavily nearly every day, the signal/noise ratio of issues is something we care about a lot.

Please post this to rabbitmq-users.

Thank you.

Use this method instead.

@michaelklishin since github is offered for bugs and development of lib I would suggest that Ipv6 should be optional or at least provide an option to disable it. The reason I am asking is because it is impossible to debug when an ip address is specified and a DI framework is used as the code breaks while initializing and crashes the app

@pantonis you are welcome to contribute what you find missing. I'm not sure I can suggest much without a way to reproduce.

I'm also not convinced that for things like sockets exposing every single field is a good idea. On the JVM there's a way to prefer IPv6 with a single setting. My vote is for a solution like that.

I also struggled with this problem for quite a bit until I found that it can be accomplished by setting static property DefaultAddressFamily to desired value before instantiation of the connection factory.

ConnectionFactory.DefaultAddressFamily = System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily.InterNetwork;

Re-opening to see if the API can be improved for version 7.

Punting to version 8 to expedite the release of version 7.
