ForwardingPort Property

The port to which traffic will automatically be forwarded.

Syntax

 azurerelayreceiver.getForwardingPort([callback])
 azurerelayreceiver.setForwardingPort( forwardingPort, [callback])

Default Value

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getForwardingPort([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setForwardingPort([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

ForwardingPort is used together with ForwardingHost to define a location where traffic is automatically forwarded.

ForwardingHost optionally specifies an address to which traffic will be automatically forwarded. Traffic will only be forwarded if both ForwardingHost and ForwardingPort are specified.

When a connection is made the class will automatically establish a connection to ForwardingHost on the port specified by ForwardingPort. Data will then flow freely between the connected client and the ForwardingHost.

Note: This functionality is not applicable to HTTP requests.
