Hi Kent,
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 ?
Your bug report was closed because the Apple engineer could not
reproduce it. If you could submit an Xcode project with code that
reproduces the problem, that would be most helpful.
Thanks.
-Marc
