Oh yes, this is indeed intentional.
One pragmatic reason is that it would require significant additional UI (server config, bookmarks).
But more importantly:
the use of ServerSocketAppender
in an application would open up a very simple DoS opportunity. One would simply have to connect to the port and read the data very, very slowly. This would result in an hanging application. It would essentially grind to a halt on every logging call that would like to send an event and it would stay frozen until the connection has a timeout - which can be prevented by the above "very, very slowly" instead of simply reading nothing at all.
I opted to not encourage people shooting themselves in the foot like this. That this also saved me some work was an added bonus. :)
You could still set a reasonably high reconnection delay on the SocketAppender
- performance impact should be negligible.
