Subject: [Bug libc/10083] IPV6 getaddrinfo and AI_ADDRCONFIG
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:02:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090421200235.12696.qmail@sourceware.org> (raw)

------- Additional Comments From pasky at suse dot cz 2009-04-21 20:02 -------
Then this is precisely the expected behaviour! RFC 3493 states:
If the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag is specified, IPv4 addresses shall be
returned only if an IPv4 address is configured on the local system,
and IPv6 addresses shall be returned only if an IPv6 address is
configured on the local system. The loopback address is not
considered for this case as valid as a configured address.
The idea is that AI_ADDRCONFIG shall be used if you want to use the given
address family only when the user has explicit connectivity with that family.
glibc was actually buggy before and did what you want, but this got fixed, see
bug 4599.
