Following the "tomcat-connectors-1.2.39-windows-x86_64-iis does not work" thread on users list, from April 2rd http://marc.info/?t=139644507500004&r=1&w=2 http://tomcat.markmail.org/message/sb7vbobngdqig5v6 It boils down to the following: The following works: > worker.ajp13w.host=127.0.0.1 The following does not work: > worker.ajp13w.host=localhost and connector tries to connect to 0.0.0.0: jk_open_socket::jk_connect.c (735): connect to 0.0.0.0:8009 failed (errno=49) ------------ Looking at svn history, I see that implementation of method jk_resolve() was changed in r1529803 for the case when APR library is not available. Reviewing the code of jk_resolve() in jk_connect.c, I see the following issue: line 484 [[[ freeaddrinfo(ai_list); ... memcpy(&(saddr->sa), ai->ai_addr, ai->ai_addrlen); ]]] The "ai" variable is a pointer to the chosen item in "ai_list" linked list of addresses returned by getaddrinfo(). The bug is that freeaddrinfo(ai_list) is called too early, before the information is copied away. Also, the following on lines 436-441: [[[ #if JK_HAVE_IPV6 if (prefer_ipv6) hints.ai_family = JK_INET6; else #endif hints.ai_family = JK_INET; ]]] As "hints" is a structure that is passed to getaddrinfo() method, I would expect those assignments to use AF_INET, AF_INET6. I suspect that this is non-issue, as those defines should be defined as equal to AF_xx constants anyway, but other code later uses AF_xx constants, so I expect the AF_xx ones to be used here as well. ("if (ai->ai_family == AF_INET6)")
Created attachment 31484 [details] 2014-04-05_jk_56352_jkresolve_v1.patch Patch for the issue (not tested).
The patch does nothing. JK_INET6 is defined as AF_INET6 The only thing that can be is the location of freeaddrinfo(ai_list); It's a clear bug.
The reason is probably in the missing 127.0.0.1 localhost entry in the host file. Since the resolve code is now a copy from APR, the same behaviour exists with HTTPD for example. However there is still a bug with freeaddrinfo, so this could cause more serious problems.
(In reply to Mladen Turk from comment #2) > The patch does nothing. JK_INET6 is defined as AF_INET6 OK. Good to know. I am just saying that it looks odd. > The only thing that can be is the location of freeaddrinfo(ai_list); > It's a clear bug. Thank you for fixing.

If it fails to resolve the host name, I would expect some different behaviour rather than an attempt to connect to 0.0.0.0. (Just for a record: Apparently, adding such entry did not help http://markmail.org/message/pgzhzuwozcvxzab7
The problem seems to be solved with the new 1.2.40 release!
Thanks for confirming. Closing.
