The getaddrinfo test also fails on AIX 4 and 5: Finding www.ibm.com service https... res 7: Host not found
7 is EAI_NODATA, meaning "no address associated with hostname". But when ("www.ibm.com", "https") fails with this error whereas ("www.ibm.com", "http") succeeds, it's clear that the error is buggy. I apply this, since it's now a known failure: 2008-04-13 Bruno Haible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * tests/test-getaddrinfo.c (simple): Ignore EAI_NODATA error. *** tests/test-getaddrinfo.c.orig 2008-04-13 22:12:42.000000000 +0200 --- tests/test-getaddrinfo.c 2008-04-13 22:12:28.000000000 +0200 *************** *** 62,67 **** --- 62,71 ---- fail the test merely because of this. */ if (res == EAI_SERVICE) return 0; + /* AIX reports EAI_NODATA for "https".
