getaddrinfo fails with EAI_NODATA for some valid hosts with A records

getaddrinfo fails with EAI_NODATA for some valid hosts with A records

[Brian Inglis]

getaddrinfo fails with err 7 EAI_NODATA for some valid hosts with A records. 
Err 7 EAI_NODATA is mapped from WSANO_DATA err 11004 in Windows.
Can anyone reproduce failure with problem host name below? 


STC is run on Linux and Cygwin (up to date):

Yes, I can reproduce it, and it's a total surprise.

In fact, this is *not* a Cygwin problem.  I created an STC, a simple
mingw application, very certainly not using Cygwin at all:

$ cat gai.c
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0a00
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#ifndef AI_DISABLE_IDN_ENCODING
#define AI_DISABLE_IDN_ENCODING 0x80000
#endif

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  WSADATA wsadata;
  struct addrinfo hint, *res;
  int ret;

  WSAStartup (MAKEWORD(2,2), &wsadata);

  memset (&hint, 0, sizeof hint);
  hint.ai_flags = 0;//AI_V4MAPPED | AI_ADDRCONFIG | AI_CANONNAME | AI_DISABLE_IDN_ENCODING;
  hint.ai_family = 0;//AF_INET;
  ret = getaddrinfo (argv[1], NULL, &hint, &res);
  printf ("ret = %d\n", ret);
}
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -g -o gai gai.c -lws2_32
$ ./gai cygwin.org
ret = 0
$ ./gai www.sun.de
ret = 0
$ ./gai leapsecond.utcd.org
ret = 11004

I have no idea why Windows' getaddrinfo chokes on leapsecond.utcd.org
at all.

utcd.org doesn't resolve for me.  So getaddrinfo has no info to get.

Why then does it work on Linux?

nslookup works for me:

However,  tracert and ping  yield this on both W7 & W10:

Everything works in my STC except Cygwin x86/x64 
"getent ahosts leapsecond.utcd.org" 
on Windows 7 x64 which uses Cygwin getaddrinfo. 
Windows getaddrinfo (ASCII names) in Corinna's STC; Cygwin getaddrinfo, and
Windows GetAddrInfoW (UCS2-LE names) used in the Cygwin implementations,
fail in my code. 
Identical code works from Linux via the same router, and Corinna's MinGW STC
indicates the problem is Windows code, not a BLODA, unless we define Windows
as a likely BLODA. ;^> 

Worked around the problem by falling back to trying gethostbyname when gai
returns 7 EAI_NODATA because GAIW returns 11004 WSANO_DATA. That error is
normally reported when there are no A (and/or AAAA, depending on family and
flags in the call) records for a domain name (most commonly only MX for mail
server, possibly CNAME misspelled or with missing associated A/AAAA, or
other DNS mis-configuration). 

Running whois utcd.org replies normally; whois, traceroute/tracert, and ping
all fail on the name and address as there is host at that address. 
The domain, name, address, SOA, NS, A, and PTR records were set up by P-HK
(phk.freebsd.dk) to provide leapsecond info from IERS Bulletin C encoded in
an address in the IP V4 global class E experimental 240/8 space, see code at
http://phk.freebsd.dk/time/20151122.html. 
An update is due next week for the end of June, when no change is expected,
except the date updated to be valid until after then.

Running whois utcd.org replies normally; whois, traceroute/tracert, and ping
all fail on the name and address as there is *NO* host at that address.

utcd.org does not resolve. leapsecond.utcd.org does resolve.

leapsecond.utcd.org has address 244.34.36.97

Especially when after just one getaddrinfo call, the DNS cache is populated
with:
    leapsecond.utcd.org
    ----------------------------------------
    Record Name . . . . . : leapsecond.utcd.org
    Record Type . . . . . : 1
    Time To Live  . . . . : 600
    Data Length . . . . . : 4
    Section . . . . . . . : Answer
    A (Host) Record . . . : 244.34.36.97

so the DNS server is being contacted and responding normally, but it would
appear Windows GAI is failing to use that info. 
Has this been reproduced on W10 so we can report this upstream? 
Is there any support without an account for upstream W7 reports?

DNS just translates URLs to IP addresses.  It is no surprise that works.   However, addresses in the range 240.0.0.0 -
255.255.255.255 are reserved.   Windows is probably blocking that as a "favor".

See also IANA services and ports reservations which have been ignored
since Windows devs got a connection to the world outside their PC
(cough Citrix!)

Reserved just means it won't be assigned, but as illustrated by my
OP and Linux tests, it has been usable since CIDR/VLSM came in RFCs
1517-1519 in 1993, and routable since RFC 1812 in 1995 supported
Classless Inter Domain Routing and Variable Length Subnet Masking.

The private reserved address ranges are bogon territory for routers;
the most that can be said about 240/8 is possible bogosity: that
space is available for global internet use without any guarantees
what devices, hosts, protocols, and services will interoperate.

IANA considered releasing the 248M addresses for assignment a few
years ago but decided it was not worth it, as it would only delay
exhaustion of IP V4 space for 18 months, and some crufty old gear
and stacks (cough Windows!) may not support it (as we saw and you
said) for some functions.

Regardless of that, the DNS lookup function should operate normally:
implementing mechanism not policy; if some higher layer wants to
apply a policy on use of those addresses, *THAT*'s what we have
filters for.
