* rani/inet_gethostbyname_fixes: inet_res_SUITE: testcase fixes for legacy DNS resolver (Solaris 8) inet_res: /etc/resolv.conf: use domain as default search list inet: delayed/avoided read of /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts inet_gethost_native: workaround for empty result hostname on MacOS X inet_res_SUITE: testcase fix for empty domain name inet:gethostbyname improved to parse IP strings and look up own hostname OTP-8426 The resolver routines failed to look up the own node name as hostname, if the OS native resolver was erroneously configured, bug reported by Yogish Baliga, now fixed. The resolver routines now tries to parse the hostname as an IP string as most OS resolvers do, unless the native resolver is used. The DNS resolver inet_res and file resolver inet_hosts now do not read OS configuration files until they are needed. Since the native resolver is default, in most cases they are never needed. The DNS resolver's automatic updating of OS configuration file data (/etc/resolv.conf) now uses the 'domain' keyword as default search domain if there is no 'search' keyword.
2010-02-09inet_gethost_native: workaround for empty result hostname on MacOS XRaimo Niskanen
On MacOS X the getaddrinfo function apparently can return a result without canonical hostname e.g when looking up a IPv6 address string as hostname. The receiving erlang code was not prepared for that and this patch does a workaround by using the search string as default value for canonical hostname.
