I'm seeing an issue on Intel Macs where the sin_port field in the
sockaddr_in structure is in host byte order. As far as I know it is
supposed to be in network byte order.
I first saw this on 10.4.3, and filed a radar bug on it. It was closed
without comments. Now I'm seeing it on 10.4.5 ..
I have to do this in order for the code to connect. That tells me that
the field is in host byte order on Intel.
struct sockaddr_in *sin = (struct sockaddr_in *) res->ai_addr;
sin->sin_port = htons(sin->sin_port);
So, since this is now set in stone it is safe to assume it won't be
fixed. Can anyone else confirm this behavior ?
Thanks
Kent
