Yes. This needs to be supported in glibc.
I think adding an entry for IPPROTO_SCTP in the following
structure in glibc:getaddrinfo.c should fix it.
static const struct gaih_typeproto gaih_inet_typeproto[] =
{
{ 0, 0, "", 0 },
{ SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP, "tcp", 0 },
{ SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP, "udp", 0 },
{ SOCK_RAW, 0, "raw", GAI_PROTO_PROTOANY|GAI_PROTO_NOSERVICE },
{ 0, 0, "", 0 }
};
I will try it out and and submit a patch to glibc.
Thanks
