Suggest "Host address '%s' should ..." like you do in the next error message.

The xxxx= is confusing.  Do we need an example here?  The other error
messages in this function apparently don't.

What about "host address '%s' doesn't contain ':' separating host from
port" or "can't find ':' separating host from port in host address
'%s'"?

No.  Suggest "can't resolve host address '%s'.  This error message still
lacks detail, but I'm not sure hstrerror() is sufficiently portable.

Outside this patch's scope: gethostbyname() is obsolete.  Applications
should use getaddrinfo() instead.  Comes with gai_strerror().

Suggest "Port number '%s' is invalid".

Looks good otherwise.

Yes, my description message is really confusing.
Both of your prompt message are well understood.

The gethostbyname() return a null pointer if an error occurs, and the h_errno
variable holds an error number. herror() and hstrerror() can prints the error
message associated with the current value of h_errno, but hstrerror() returns
the string type is good for passing the error message to Error. So I'd prefer
the hstrerror.

As for the portability of hstrerror(), sorry, I'm also not sure, but in this
case I tested, it's OK. so I want to use hstrerror() for a while, if there are
any problem that can be fixed later. Do you think it can be done?

Can I try to fix it later?

Mao

Standard first portability question: does Windows provide it?

Sure.  By "outside this patch's scope" I mean it's a separate matter
that clearly doesn't have to be addressed to get this patch accepted.

Nope.  But it does have gai_strerror.

Let's go with the generic error message I suggested, and leave adding
detail to the patch that converts to getaddrinfo().
