Subject: OpenBSD doesn't support connect() to INADDR_ANY and returns EINVAL (22),
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a6de657d26a2da0b754a23a7baddae62f35b57fb;p=thirdparty%2Fapache%2Fhttpd.git

OpenBSD doesn't support connect() to INADDR_ANY and returns EINVAL (22),
fallback to 127.0.0.1 if lp->bind_addr is INADDR_ANY and that connect() fails with EINVAL
bz #69857
