1769295 - selfserv and tstclnt should use PR_GetPrefLoopbackAddrInfo

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(NSS :: Libraries, enhancement)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

See bug 1769293 for the explanation.

selfserv should call PR_GetPrefLoopbackAddrInfo, and look at the returned family, to decide which socket family it should create for listening.

If tstclnt is configured to connect to localhost, it should call PR_GetPrefLoopbackAddrInfo to obtain AddrInfo of the preferred family. It can directly use it for connecting.

Bob, can you please test that this fix (latest patch) works in your environment?
I understand you have systems that fail to run the test suite without this change.

The preliminary test worked (https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=87458626 x86_64 only ), the full fedora tests are running now: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=87484208 . (not clearing need info until the latter tests have completed).

OK, The build finished on all platforms (including running all.sh tests), so I think we are good.
