Bug Description
Hi Team!
I recently ran into an issue with socat where it would not work with `TCP6-LISTEN` and just throw 'Name of service not known` if the name to be resolved starts with a digit.
For example:
/usr/bin/socat -x TCP-LISTEN:
2020/10/13 10:02:01 socat[26483] E getaddrinfo(
or following in case of TCP6-LISTEN
2020/10/13 10:03:03 socat[26497] E getaddrinfo(
The bug seems to be caused by this logic: https:/
It has been fixed upstream already so I think a patch should be feasible: https:/
Ubuntu socat version: 1.7.3.2 (Both Focal and Bionic)
Latest upstream version: 1.7.3.4
Please review.
Thanks!
