- If the server returns garbage or nothing at all in response to an AAAA query, go on and ask for A records anyway.
2009-01-31- ares_gethostbyname() now accepts 'AF_UNSPEC' as a family for resolvingDaniel Stenberg
either AF_INET6 or AF_INET. It works by accepting any of the looksups in the hosts file, and it resolves the AAAA field with a fallback to A.
2009-01-18Constified some arguments in local functions.Gisle Vanem
2008-11-25In preparation for the upcomming IPv6 nameservers patch, the internalYang Tse
ares_addr union is now changed into an internal struct which also holds the address family.

warnings
2008-11-19- Brad Spencer brought the new function ares_gethostbyname_file() which simplyDaniel Stenberg
resolves a host name from the given file, using the regular hosts syntax.

2008-07-03- Phil Blundell: If you ask ares_gethostbyname() to do an AF_INET6 lookup andDaniel Stenberg
the target host has only A records, it automatically falls back to an AF_INET lookup and gives you the A results. However, if the target host has a CNAME record, this behaviour is defeated since the original query does return some data even though ares_parse_aaa_reply() doesn't consider it relevant. Here's a small patch to make it behave the same with and without the CNAME.
2008-05-08check for strings.h in configure and use it for the strcasecmp() protoDaniel Stenberg

2007-11-28fix next_lookup() to continue searching even if c-ares failed to load theDaniel Stenberg

2007-11-15When looking up in DNS and then in the hosts file, return the error code ↵Steinar H. Gunderson
from DNS if both fail, instead of returning the error code from the hosts file, as today. Patch from the Google tree.
2007-11-15Return TTL data from ares_parse_{a,aaaa}_reply, if the user is so inclined. ↵Steinar H. Gunderson
Patch from the Google tree.
2007-10-02Fixed the problem where next_lookup would use 'status' uninitialized. NowDaniel Stenberg
it gets passed the initial value as an argument.

2007-09-28Unrevert previous 'missing' hunks. They were missing since the patch is ↵Steinar H. Gunderson
still in for review :-)
2007-09-28Yet more missing hunks... Nggh.Steinar H. Gunderson
2007-09-28Make the query callbacks return the number of timeouts that happened during ↵Steinar H. Gunderson
the execution of a query, and update documentation accordingly. (Patch from the Google tree.)
2007-06-04Revered Ashish Sharma's multiple entries patch, as it caused memory madnessDaniel Stenberg
2007-06-02Ashish Sharma provided a patch for supporting multiple entries in theDaniel Stenberg
/etc/hosts file. Patch edited for coding style and functionality by me (Daniel).

Return correct timeval in windows_port.c. Squelch gcc warnings: use 'ares_socket_t' in ares_fds.c. Don't cast a 'lvalue' in ares_init.c.

2004-07-22- Fixed a few variable return types for some system calls. Made configureDaniel Stenberg
check for ssize_t to make it possible to use that when receiving the send() error code. This is necessary to prevent compiler warnings on some systems. - Made configure create config.h, and all source files now include setup.h that might include the proper config.h (or a handicrafted alternative). - Switched to 'ares_socket_t' type for sockets in ares, since Windows don't use 'int' for that. - automake-ified and libool-ified c-ares. Now it builds libcares as a shared lib on most platforms if wanted. (This bloated the size of the release archive with another 200K!) - Makefile.am now uses Makefile.inc for the c sources, h headers and man pages, to make it easier for other makefiles to use the exact same set of files. - Adjusted 'maketgz' to use the new automake magic when building distribution archives.
