Hello,

I am new to openssl, but it seems the following may be a bug.

When connecting to a hostname in the form,
100.100.100.100.compute-1.amazonaws.com, the following error is generated:

error:2006A066:BIO routines:BIO_get_host_ip:bad hostname lookupError..

When the same hostname is used from the command line, it works fine.

openssl s_client -connect 100.100.100.100.compute-1.amazonaws.com:80-state
-nbio -no_tls1 2>&1 | grep "^SSL".

The source code specifies the host name in one function call, and the port
in another.  If i change the hostname to ONLY the IP address part, it works
fine.  Could the DNS resolver interface be mistaking the hostname for an IP
address that is malformed with additional trailing characters?

Thoughts?
