[PATCH 2/2] Clean up sanityCheckHostname() in network.py (#559626)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hostnames can start with digits.  Removed inStrRange() since
it seemed a little redundant.  Left hostname length check at
64 characters, but put a comment reminding me that POSIX
sets this limit to 255, so we should examine this in the
future again.
