The lpvStatusInformation doc for wininet status callback INTERNET_STATUS_NAME_RESOLVED states it is a PCTSTR but it is usually a PCSTR (also note the comment to that affect). http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa385121%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Approximately 11% of the time we are getting a single digit for the IP Address. I suspect that in some cases it is returning a PCTSTR.

Comment on attachment 725844 [details] [diff] [review] patch InetBgDl.dll NSIS plugin [Approval Request Comment] Bug caused by (feature/regressing bug #): Bug 811573 User impact if declined: None. This impacts metrics reporting and our ability to troubleshoot the stub installer. Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): This has been on nightly for a day and the stub ping data has not had a single report with only a single digit for the download server IP address since the nightly build was built vs. approximately 14% of the pings having a single digit for the download server IP address. There have been no anomalies seen in the ping data and no bug reports. Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): It is a fairly simple fix with little risk. String or UUID changes made by this patch: None

QA, there is no way for you to verify this. I will examine the stub ping data over the next several days and report back whether this has been fixed or not. Thanks!

With the nightly data improving so significantly I am changing this to verified. I'll verify it on aurora before changing status-firefox21 to verified.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
With the following improvements I am satisfied that this bug is fixed. There might be some edgecases where this will happen which I am fine with as long as it isn't around 14% as it was previously on the aurora channel. I suspect that some of the remaining cases are due to people using a previously downloaded stub that doesn't contain the fix.

This looks 100% fixed or at least as close as can be... there has not been a single report out of 13032 records since 2013-03-27
