We are using squid 3.1.6 and every time i access a IP Based URL, i get 1 for GetHostIsNumeric(). There is a limitation from client for upgradation of the release :( Searched the net and found that IsAnyAddr() had bugs and Address.cc in ip was modified. Applied the patch and modified the functions IsAnyAddr to bool Ip::Address::IsAnyAddr() const { return IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED(&m_SocketAddr.sin6_addr) || IN6_ARE_ADDR_EQUAL(&m_SocketAddr.sin6_addr, &v4_anyaddr); } IsIPv4() to bool Ip::Address::IsIPv4() const { return IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED( &m_SocketAddr.sin6_addr ); } IsIPv6 to: bool Ip::Address::IsIPv6() const { return !IsIPv4(); } Still i keep on getting 1 for IP Based urls. Please suggest. Regards Sachin On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 10:44 AM, Amos Jeffries <squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 16/10/2013 4:13 p.m., Sachin Gupta wrote: >> >> Yes.
