connectsock.c struct hostent has no member named h_addr compile error

posted this in C on March 1st, 2013

Recently I was trying to compile connectsock.c from Internetworking With TCP/IP Volume III: Client-Server Programming and Applications, Linux/POSIX Socket Version (with D. Stevens), 2000. 0-13-032071-4

Compile Error

connectsock.c: In function connectsock:
connectsock.c:52:28: error: struct hostent has no member named h_addr

1 2	connectsock.c: In function connectsock: connectsock.c:52:28: error: struct hostent has no member named h_addr

Solution? Modify the Make file!

Before:

DEFS =
CFLAGS = -W -pedantic -ansi -g ${DEFS} ${INCLUDE}

1 2	DEFS = CFLAGS = -W -pedantic -ansi -g ${DEFS} ${INCLUDE}

After:

DEFS =
CFLAGS =-W-pedantic-ansi-g $ {DEFS} $ {INCLUDE}-D_GNU_SOURCE

1 2	DEFS = CFLAGS =-W-pedantic-ansi-g $ {DEFS} $ {INCLUDE}-D_GNU_SOURCE

curl on windows with https

posted this in Windows on February 3rd, 2013

The easiest way to get curl on windows with HTTPS is to simply download and install the git package then add

c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin

1	c:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin

as an environment variable to allow you to run curl from anywhere.

Don’t forget when running curl commands in a DOS prompt to use double quotes.

Example:

curl https://www.cloudflare.com/api_json.html -d "a=fpurge_ts" -d "tkn=<apikey>" -d "email=<username>" -d "z=domain" -d "v=1"

{"response":{"fpurge_ts":1359831767},"result":"success","msg":null,"attributes":{"cooldown":20}}</username></apikey>

curl https://www.cloudflare.com/api_json.html -d "a=fpurge_ts" -d "tkn=<apikey>" -d "email=<username>" -d "z=domain" -d "v=1"

{"response":{"fpurge_ts":1359831767},"result":"success","msg":null,"attributes":{"cooldown":20}}</username></apikey>

posted this in bash, FreeBSD, Linux, O/S, perl, Redhat Centos, Scripts, Server Setup on January 18th, 2013

Recently I tried passing a bash variable to perl command in bash script, it didn’t end well.

Troy Engel from http://tacticalvim.wordpress.com/ was nice enough to point out the issue:

use sed instead of perl for what you need; it’s simpler, faster and uses the bash variables easily.

I set up a test script /home/someuser/test.sh to show:
