We have already tested Linux 2.6+ and FreeBSD 4.5+ (4.3 _says_ it has them) Not sure about Solaris, OS2, or Darwin yet. > I have found two interesting substitute here: > <AYJ: pulled these out of order due to my response sequence> > http://doxygen.postgresql.org/getaddrinfo_8c-source.html > > I'm not sure if the licensing of the implementation coming from the > PostgreSQL allow its usage in Squid. > PostGres looks good until I audit the code. These are both killer bugs for us: " Bugs: - only one addrinfo is set even though hintp is NULL or ai_socktype is 0 - AI_CANONNAME is not supported. " > http://www.koders.com/c/fid11C8C256BE9D1C263E0725F657383F62F24759F5.aspx?s=md5 The very first line says it's a (partial) implementation which makes me think there are edge cases missing, etc. Though a quick check of the code I couldn't see any obvious problems or notes about killer bugs. I'm sure there are more re-writes around, and sure enough Google codesearch find me a clean fetchmail implementation of JUST getaddrinfo(), freeaddrinfo() and gai_strerror(). ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/SOURCES/fetchmail-6.3.6.tar.gz&cs_f=fetchmail-6.3.6/libesmtp/getaddrinfo.c#a0 That is probably better for us being more complete in the IPv4-area. The crunch now will be whether getnameinfo() is also that unsupported in NT/2k ? AND its already under GNU license to FSF. Amos
