 Milestone:  To Be Determined       |   Component:  asio                   
   Version:  Boost 1.53.0           |    Severity:  Problem                
Resolution:  invalid                |    Keywords:  localhost AI_ADDRCONFIG
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
Changes (by chris_kohlhoff):

  * status:  new => closed
  * resolution:  => invalid

Comment:

 This behaviour is not specific to Windows (e.g. I've seen it on Linux
 too). It looks like AI_ADDRCONFIG is behaving as POSIX intended.

 If you don't want to use the AI_ADDRCONFIG option, please explicitly
 specify the flags when constructing the query. You can do this in portable
 code.
