Hi all.
Roaming recently through whois database i've stumbled upon the
following ip-address notations:
194.134.086.040
212.223.085.184
212.129.243.040
194.134.086.32
... etc ...
Giving this addresses to inet_aton results in exceptions, or address
misspelling due to:
[man inet_aton]
All numbers supplied as ``parts'' in a `.' notation may be decimal,
octal, or hexadecimal, as specified in the C language (i.e., a
leading 0x
or 0X implies hexadecimal; otherwise, a leading 0 implies octal;
other-
wise, the number is interpreted as decimal).
[man inet_aton]
However, RFC1166 names addresses as "dotted decimal" and doesn't
specifies any form of writing 'em with octal or hexadecimal numbers.
Am I wrong somewhere? Does inet_aton breaks RFC? Is there any other
common functions to process those "expanded with zeroes" addresses?
