Package: libcurl3
Version: 7.18.2-6
Severity: normal
Curl / libc-ares doesn't read IPv4 addresses from /etc/hosts.
prompt:~$ curl http://localhost/
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: localhost (Domain name not found)
prompt:~$ curl http://ip6-localhost/
<html><body><h1>It works!</h1></body></html>
I'm not sure if this should be logged against libcurl3 or libc-ares2.
libcurl3 asks specifically for an IPv6 address, and it seems that libc-ares2
won't return IPv4 addresses for file lookups when IPv6 is requested.
But for hosts found via DNS instead of /etc/hosts, only a single call to
ares_gethostbyname (..., family=AF_INET6, ...)
is needed to get an IPv4 address.
I've had experimental versions of libc-ares on my PC, but have done a
cleanup to make sure that I'm using the official versions. If you can't
replicate this immediately, send it back and I'll check again.
My /etc/nsswitch.conf is below - I've set it to not use lwres while
debugging.
Obscure use case broken by this:
"apt-file update", when /etc/apt.sources lists a [debtorrent] caching proxy
running on localhost.
