These functions are implemented by the operating systems. Without creating a thread for the get* hosts, we won't have any control on the timeout. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-04 16:34:30] tyra3l at gmail dot com bump ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-04 19:19:12] adifranco at tagged dot com Any intent to fix this? This kind of indeterminism is very crippling to trying to use these functions in a feature that interacts with the user. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-10 22:54:12] grimtraffic at hotmail dot com To be honest, no timeout has really made it hard to log users. There is no point of logging IP's because they change too often for dial-up users, and with my page timing out every third time someone goes to it, I now have troubles. By the way, 2 out of 3 who use gethostbyaddr have an issue with it timing out constantly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-05 06:19:54] sergi at millorsoft dot es Is this bug still open? I think it's a really important bug and can cause very long retards when the DNS lookup doesn't respond or some DNS server is unreacheable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
