#1444 closed enhancement

SDE connection failed message non descriptive — at Version 4

Description (last modified by warmerdam)

When trying to connect to sde in OGRSDEDataSource::Open() using an IP address the api returns an empty or non descriptive error making it appear as though a critical error occurred. The solution is to pass a server UNC or friendly name. This wasn't clear to me and I spent a little while trying to figure it out, so I thought by adding a check for an ip address or localhost it would be helpful to new users of the driver.

Is that ok with you Howard/Frank?

I'm all for more informative error messages.  Beyond that I have no opinion.
Adding Howard for comment.
