Libunbound and hosts files

Unbound
1

Hi,

I have been playing with libunbound (0.11). It works great :slight_smile:

I found that my hosts file (OS X 10.5.2) contains entries like

fe80::1%lo0 localhost

which ub_ctx_hosts doesn't like. You get (presumably from line 896 of libunbound.c)

error reading hosts: syntax error. errno says: Invalid argument

Also, It made me wonder if in general ub_ctx_hosts should just skip lines it can not read and continue trying to parse the rest of the hosts file.

thanks
John

Fixed in svn trunk version, it skips lines with % in the address.
