Great. My worry was that the sockets unit might fall into the same
category as the libc one, available but deprecated and not recommended
for use. Plus, when rewriting something that's been unchanged for
years, there's a risk of breaking programs that depend on the bug.
I think the processing of wrong IP addresses and missing IPv4-ending
addresses support is not really something one depends on :)
So fixing this is quite OK.
Heh! Guess I really am the only one who implements RFCs in Object Pascal
in his spare time. Maybe I should have learned to play golf :D
Well, considering the amount of RFCs I implemented for FPC, I think I'll join
you.
Let me know what golf course you picked. If your email address is any
indication, new zealand is a bit far off, but has always been on my bucket list
;-)
Michael.
