I'm confused by how that works. I've never seen IP addresses expressed in decimal form before (which is what I'm assuming that is).

- odonnellryan 11y agoAn IP address is just a number. Here's a great post on it: http://superuser.com/a/486936 http://superuser.com/a/486936
- mitchty 11y agoIt is in octal actually, and it isn't overly portable. It should also start with a 0 to be "correct". Which in this case "correct" means the libc inet_aton() function will accept it and convert it to an ip address. The octal portion is nonstandard technically for uri's and is more an artifact of the libc the software you're using is sitting on.
- quesera 11y agoThat looks like decimal to me. I didn't convert it to test, but I see a couple 8s. :) Regardless, there are valid dotless decimal, octal, and hex representations for every IP address. Library support is variable.
