Hi there, I’ve been using the old (0.9.0) OSC Cinder block, but would like to switch to the new (ASIO-based) block included with Cinder 0.9.1. However, I was relying on the capability to get the origin address and port for a received OSC (UDP) message, using `msg->getRemoteIp()` and `msg->getRemotePort()`. But it seems the port-accessing functionality has been removed – I see there is a `msg->getSenderIpAddress()`, but nothing to get the remote port.
Previously I was getting the remote IP endpoint (address+port) of the first client to send my application a message, and then creating a new Sender to communicate with that endpoint. Now, I’m not sure if/how I can do that. Maybe I’ll have to switch to TCP?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Glen.

Regarding this: I’ve opened an [issue on GitHub](https://github.com/cinder/Cinder/issues/2041) and also provided a [Pull Request](https://github.com/cinder/Cinder/pull/2042) that adds the missing functionality to get the sender’s port.
