From 6218ded6001ea330e589f92b6b2fa12777752b5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 23:52:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix_hostname: zero length host name caused -1 index offset MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit If a URL is given with a zero-length host name, like in "http://:80" or just ":80", `fix_hostname()` will index the host name pointer with a -1 offset (as it blindly assumes a non-zero length) and both read and assign that address.
