Re: [Haskell-cafe] Issue with "connectTo" function in "network" package

Another way round -- "it" (the server) was only listening on IPv4 and the (Haskell) client only tried to connect via IPv6. The bug is described here (with a patch): http://trac.haskell.org/network/ticket/30 * Jeremy Shaw [2010-06-04 16:57:38-0500]

Perhaps it was only listening on IPv6 ? ::1 ?

Hi all, I had an issue where using the connectTo [1] function would fail to connect to "localhost" if my wireless card was turned off. The moment I turned on my wireless connection it worked. But if I use connectTo with "127.0.0.1" [2] with my network off it works.

I confirmed that "localhost' resolves to "127.0.0.1" by pinging "localhost" from command line with the Internet off.

Is this a bug in "connectTo"?
