[TOOLS-145] Tools don't handle connection string properly - MongoDB

XML

Word

Printable

The tools just blindly append the value for "port" at the end of "host" even though we kind of treat it like a connection string:

-h [ --host ] arg mongo host to connect to ( <set
name>/s1,s2 for sets)

$ ./mongoimport --host localhost:30001 --port 30001

2013-09-16T14:58:54.673-0400 getaddrinfo("localhost:30001") failed: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

couldn't connect to [localhost:30001:30001] couldn't connect to server

$ ./mongoimport --host localhost:30001

// connects fine to mongod running on localhost:30001
