Give a better error message on invalid hostaddr option. If you accidentally pass a host name in the hostaddr option, e.g. hostaddr=localhost, you get an error like:
psql: could not translate host name "localhost" to address: Name or service not known That's a bit confusing, because it implies that we tried to look up "localhost" in DNS, but it failed. To make it more clear that we tried to parse "localhost" as a numeric network address, change the message to: psql: could not parse network address "localhost": Name or service not known Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/10badbc6-4d5a-a769-623a-f7ada43e1...@iki.fi Branch ------ master Details ------- https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/76b11e8a43eca4612dfccfe7f3ebd293fb8a46ec Modified Files -------------- src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c | 41 +++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) -- Sent via pgsql-committers mailing list (pgsql-committers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-committers
