Re: possible bug report re: (malformed?) internet addresses

Interesting. Host can look it up:
bash-2.05b$ host mr-chips-.deviantart.com
mr-chips-.deviantart.com has address 69.28.181.43

But the host name is itself invalid. From RFC 1035:

  The labels must follow the rules for ARPANET host names.  They must
  start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior
  characters only letters, digits, and hyphen.

My guess is Windows is actually munging it, when it would be better to
return an error.


Frem.

possible bug report re: (malformed?) internet addresses

2005-03-31 Thread fredthetree
$ ping "mr-chips-.deviantart.com"
ping: cannot resolve mr-chips-.deviantart.com: Unknown server error

$ ping "etc-etc-etc.deviantart.com"
PING etc-etc-etc.deviantart.com (69.28.181.43): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 69.28.181.43: icmp_seq=0 ttl=50 time=108.127 ms


At first it may seem logical to point the blame to the server, after
noting "Unknown server error," however, I am perfectly able to connect
to this address on a Windows machine.  The problem is reproducible
with any address which has a "-" before a "."

I am not sure where the problem lies, it is obviously not just within
'ping,' as I first noticed this problem within firefox/mozilla.
