Imagine the following code:
String hostName = "0.0.0.0";
int port = 10002;
int timeout = 5000;
Socket socket = new Socket();
socket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(hostName, port), timeout);
On the Mac it works fine and executes the connect (even with nothing running on port 10002) and on Windows I get the following exception:
java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect
What's the difference here and what would be the alternative on Windows? This is used in unit tests.
