EHOSTUNREACH should not be considered as an exception when send on a loopback network interface. (original) (raw)

Hi guys,

In some linuxes, when you bind on a loopback network interface, sendto will be fail and errono will be set to EHOSTUNREACH. In this situation, EHOSTUNREACH maybe need treat as INVAL: return false, not throw an exception.

Patch is attached.

Does anyone interested in this issue?
