     Type:  Bugs                  |     Status:  new
Milestone:  Boost 1.59.0          |  Component:  asio
  Version:  Boost 1.59.0          |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  WSAStringToAddressA   |
----------------------------------+----------------------------
 On Windows WSAStringToAddressA() accepts A.B.C.D and A.B.C.D:PORT, but on
 linux inet_pton only accepts A.D.B.D (:PORT causes an error). Therefore,
 Windows users don't have an exception that linux users have.
