If my address is 192.168.1.112 everything works If my address is 192.168.001.112 it doesn’t work and throws an exception about not finding the host.
It’s not a big deal, but it sure took me a long time to track down.
Is there some sort of Boost magic I can do to convert the bad address into a good address?
If you still need to remove leading zeroes from the address, consider using Boost.Regex (or stdlib regex if you have a C++11 toolset). The regular expression "\b0+(?=[1-9])" will match one or more leading zeroes that precede a non-zero digit. Replace each match with an empty string. |+| M a r k |+| Mark Stallard Business Application Services Global Business Services Information Technology Raytheon Company
