* September 26
|
||||
|
||||
- Dominick Meglio patched: C-ares on Windows assumed that the HOSTS file is
|
||||
located in a static location. It assumed
|
||||
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc. This is a poor assumption to make. In fact,
|
||||
the location of the HOSTS file can be changed via a registry setting.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a key called DatabasePath which specifies the path to the HOSTS
|
||||
file:
|
||||
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/network/deploy/depovg/tcpip2k.mspx
|
||||
|
||||
The patch will make c-ares correctly consult the registry for the location
|
||||
of this file.
