Subject: Re: [SLE] "funky url"'s



Simple :-)

For example, I tried my univerities web server:

        IP: 130.208.165.8  ->  http://2194711816

        130 * 256^3 -> 2181038080
        208 * 256^2 ->   13631488
        165 * 256^1 ->      42240
          8 * 256^0 ->          8
                      -----------
           Sum:        2194711816

This is actually the correct INET: identifier ( 32 bit number ) for
this IP address. Thus, translating the IP to this number, or using
this number directly should give the same result.

Hope this helps,
        Tor Sigurdsson
