some modern hostnames start with a digit. E.g. Intel's Open Source projects page is https://01.org/. But socat thinks this is a numeric IP address, due to the following code: if (node && isdigit(node[0]&0xff)) { #if HAVE_GETADDRINFO hints.ai_flags |= AI_NUMERICHOST; #endif /* HAVE_GETADDRINFO */ Here's a problematic run: 0 dkg@alice:/tmp/cdtemp.5c2bca$ socat TCP4:01.org:80 STDIO 2012/12/13 20:49:54 socat[30500.178407168] E getaddrinfo("01.org", "(null)", {5,2,1,6}, {}): Name or service not known 1 dkg@alice:/tmp/cdtemp.5c2bca$ host 01.org 01.org has address 198.145.11.105 01.org has IPv6 address 2001:19d0:3:5::105 01.org mail is handled by 0 mx.01.org. 0 dkg@alice:/tmp/cdtemp.5c2bca$ Regards, --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages socat depends on: ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1c-4 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-24 socat recommends no packages. socat suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
