Changelog for the c-ares project
+* September 26
+
+- Dominick Meglio patched: C-ares on Windows assumed that the HOSTS file is
+ located in a static location. It assumed
+ C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc. This is a poor assumption to make. In fact,
+ the location of the HOSTS file can be changed via a registry setting.
+
+ There is a key called DatabasePath which specifies the path to the HOSTS
+ file:
+ http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/network/deploy/depovg/tcpip2k.mspx
+
+ The patch will make c-ares correctly consult the registry for the location
+ of this file.
