Speaking of tftp nits; "curl tftp://localhost/foo" connects using
TCP contary to what host*.c is suggesting (using SOCK_DGRAM in
hints). Shouldn't there be a similar test to this one in hostip6.c:

 if(conn->protocol & PROT_TFTP)
   hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_DGRAM;
 else
   hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;

in connect.c?

Gisle,

There is code in lib/hostip6.c (line 256) that should take care of this. When I strace the commands on linux, I am seeing UDP sockets both under 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. There may be a better way to handle this--being not-so-familiar with the code, I was just looking to keep the switch as close to the socket() call as possible.
