The person who built and released this might not have ever worked for your company, which might be why no one remembers building or releasing it.

- cjbprime 3y agoI admire your restraint in writing this comment. :)
- gravitronic 3y agoNo no, I figured that out afterwards, in a past development iteration someone added it on purpose and then forgot all about it - "oh yeah we needed that to <solve some mundane problem>". So... worse than subterfuge? That being said it only listened on the local socket, so it's slightly less bad, and I don't want to get into the myriad of correct ways that original problem could have been solved, but lets just say that company doesn't exist anymore.
