the target host has only A records, it automatically falls back to an
AF_INET lookup and gives you the A results. However, if the target host has
a CNAME record, this behaviour is defeated since the original query does
return some data even though ares_parse_aaa_reply() doesn't consider it
relevant. Here's a small patch to make it behave the same with and without
the CNAME.
not posix or anything and thus c-ares failed to build on hurd (and possibly
elsewhere). The define was also somewhat artificially used in the windows
port. Now, I instead rewrote the use of gethostbyname to enlarge the host
name buffer in case of need and totally avoid the use of the MAXHOSTNAMELEN
define. I thus also removed the defien from the namser.h file where it was
once added for the windows build.
I also fixed init_by_defaults() function to not leak memory in case if
error.
autoconf 2.57 usage (which is the version you have specified as the minimum
version). It's a minor change but it does clean up some warnings with newer
autoconf (specifically 2.62).
several functions (write_tcp_data, read_tcp_data, read_udp_packets) so that
if it fails and the socket is closed the following code doesn't try to use
the file descriptor.
something with the ares_save_options() where it would try to do a malloc(0)
when no options of that type needed to be saved. On most platforms, this was
fine because malloc(0) doesn't actually return NULL, but on AIX it does, so
ares_save_options would return ARES_ENOMEM.
specific sockets and thus avoiding select() and associated functions/macros.
This function will be used by upcoming libcurl releases for this very
reason. It also made me export the ares_socket_t type in the public ares.h
header file, since ares_process_fd() uses that type for two of the arguments.
(ares_init.c/get_iphlpapi_dns_info() function): when I disable the network
by hand or disconnect the network cable in Windows 2000 or Windows XP, my
application gets 127.0.0.1 as the only name server. The problem comes from
'GetNetworkParams' function, that returns the empty string "" as the only
name server in that case. Moreover, the Windows implementation of
inet_addr() returns INADDR_LOOPBACK instead of INADDR_NONE.
ares_dns.h, which break c-ares on my Sparc64. Bit-wise operations in C
operate on logical values. And in any event the octets are already in
big-endian (aka network) byte order so they're being reversed (thus the
source of the breakage).
things such as C++ compiler actually is a bad thing and since we don't need
that detection I added a work-around, much inspired by a previous patch by
Paolo Bonzini. This also shortens the configure script quite a lot.
Make UDP sockets non-blocking. I've confirmed that at least on Linux 2.4 a
read event can come back from poll() on a valid SOCK_DGRAM socket but
recv(2) will still block. This patch doesn't ignore EAGAIN in
read_udp_packets(), though maybe it should. (This patch was edited by Daniel
Stenberg and a new configure test was added (imported from curl's configure)
to properly detect what non-blocking socket approach to use.)
I'm not quite sure how this was happening, but I've been seeing PTR queries
which seem to return empty responses. At least, they were empty when calling
ares_expand_name() on the record. Here's a patch which guarantees to
NUL-terminate the expanded name. The old behavior failed to NUL-terminate if
len was 0, and this was causing strlen() to run past the end of the buffer
after calling ares_expand_name() and getting ARES_SUCCESS as the return
value. If q is not greater than *s then it's equal and *s is always
allocated with at least one byte.
when they made Alpha's) uses /etc/svc.conf for the purpose fixed below for
other OSes. He made c-ares check for and understand it if present.
- Now c-ares will use local host name lookup _before_ DNS resolving by default
if nothing else is told.
file to determine the sequence in which to search /etc/hosts and DNS. So on
systems where this order is defined by /etc/host.conf instead of a "lookup"
entry in /etc/resolv.conf, C-ARES will always default to looking in DNS
first, and /etc/hosts second.
c-ares now looks at
1) resolv.conf (for the "lookup" line);
2) nsswitch.fon (for the "hosts:" line);
3) host.conf (for the "order" line).
First match wins.
check for ssize_t to make it possible to use that when receiving the send()
error code. This is necessary to prevent compiler warnings on some systems.
- Made configure create config.h, and all source files now include setup.h that
might include the proper config.h (or a handicrafted alternative).
- Switched to 'ares_socket_t' type for sockets in ares, since Windows don't
use 'int' for that.
- automake-ified and libool-ified c-ares. Now it builds libcares as a shared
lib on most platforms if wanted. (This bloated the size of the release
archive with another 200K!)
- Makefile.am now uses Makefile.inc for the c sources, h headers and man
pages, to make it easier for other makefiles to use the exact same set of
files.
- Adjusted 'maketgz' to use the new automake magic when building distribution
archives.
the resolv.conf file, the first entry encountered is processed and used as
the search list. According to the manual pages for both Linux, Solaris and
Tru64, the last entry of either a domain or a search field is used.
