I've tried both (assuming that "resolve" and "resolveWithTimeout" amount to
the same thing - I try to avoid things that begin with CF, heretical though
that might be) and the behavior is slightly different but still not the
same as with all-Panther.
The issues are slightly tangled up with service discovery in that if
Bonjour doesn't inform me that a service has appeared then, clearly, I'm
not going to try to resolve it. With all-Panther, it doesn't seem to matter
what I do to the various servers. I can launch and quit gracefully, I can
force-quit, I can pull cables, etc and Bonjour will always work out what is
going on and send me the appropriate messages. With Tiger in the mix,
sometimes I don't get told when a service has appeared, sometimes I don't
get told when a service has been withdrawn, etc. And then there's this
nonsense with IPv6 addresses being passed to me even though I've set IPv6
to off on every machine and every interface. I wouldn't really care if I
also got IPv4 addresses but those don't arrive a lot of the time (and, yes,
I am enumerating the addresses array).
Anyway, I have spent the day putting a test together. I expect to be able
to file a radar tomorrow.
