Hi
I'm new to Rshiny, i recently, created a new VM in azure and hosted a shiny App.
when i try to host it in a local server by assigning a port number it will host the Application but the Port number is changing.
for example :
this is my ip address in 20.55.xxx.xx:8787
and i have created a shiny app and wants to host it in port number 3505 using R terminal
shiny::runApp(port=3505)
expected Url "http://XXXXXXXXXXXXX:8787/p/3505/"
the url it is providing is "http://XX.XX.XXX.XX:8787/p/a574e02e/".
(ip hidden)
it was working as expected in R 3.5.1 version

I want to know why the port number is changing to alpha numeric instead of number which i specified
also when i tried to look at shiny.trace, i got to know that it is adding clientdata_url_pathname
Thanks
