See also the article "Ping and FTP Resolve IP Address with Leading Zero as Octal" (https://web.archive.org/web/20061206211851/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/115388). This is still true in Windows 10. So it is safer to reject IPv4 addresses with leading zeros that can be ambiguously interpreted. Otherwise this can create a security hole. ---------- nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36384> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
