What did you do?

   c := http.Client{Timeout: time.Duration(3) * time.Second}
    req, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "http://jenkins.x.x:8080/job/"+app+"/lastStableBuild/artifact/", nil)
    panicOnError(err)
    req.SetBasicAuth(user, pwd)
    resp, err := c.Do(req)
    panicOnError(err)

env GOOS=solaris GOARCH=amd64 go build .

What did you expect to see?

no error
This doesn't work for me since version 1.19, the last working version was 1.18.
Is it a bug or is solaris 11.3 no longer supported?

What did you see instead?

Get "http://jenkins.x.x:8080/job/celllocker/lastStableBuild/artifact/": dial tcp: lookup jenkins.nms.ip on x.x.x.x:53: dial udp x.x.x.x:53: socket: protocol wrong type for socket

The error is that the socket system call is returning EPROTOTYPE, which is documented as "The socket type is not supported by the protocol." I don't understand how that could be; as far as I can tell we always pass 0 for the protocol. What are the contents of the file /etc/netconfig on your system?

Thanks for the data. Unfortunately I have no idea what is going on.

[xmikus01]

This CL 403394 and commit introduced support for the accept4 syscall on Solaris (commit message refers to Solaris 11.4), but unfortunately also introduced passing of SOCK_* flags to the socket syscall unconditionally for all versions of Solaris by introducing solaris to build flags of src/net/sock_cloexec.go.

However, these SOCK_* flags are only available only in Solaris 11.4 and later:

Support for SOCK_* flags as part of the type parameter was added to Oracle Solaris in the 11.4 release.

@tklauser @ianlancetaylor The question is, which Solaris version is officially supported by the Go team? If it is also 11.3, then of course this is a regression...

[ianlancetaylor]

On https://go.dev/wiki/MinimumRequirements we claim to support Solaris 11+, which presumably includes 11.3.

So I think we may need to revert https://go.dev/cl/403634.

@xmikus01 Thanks for digging through this.
