It is unnecessary to special-case the "localhost" domain name, as documents like RFC 6761 (section 6.3) already define its semantics. It should hence be simply passed to
getaddrinfo()
, so that the proper loopback address is returned.On the other hand, using "*" as a shorthand for "0.0.0.0" is not universally accepted, so Pistache should continue handle it specifically for backwards compatibility.
This restores
getaddrinfo()
coverage regressed by commit 50e39e1.
