I don't know the platform, but Google(VxWorks gethostbyname) found page
http://www.xs4all.nl/~borkhuis/vxworks/ftp/vxhacks/pso_stack/apps/ttcp.c
that contains
 
#ifndef VXWORKS
      if ((addr = gethostbyname(host)) == NULL)
        err("bad hostname");
      sinhim.sin_family = addr->h_addrtype;
      bcopy(addr->h_addr, (char *) &addr_tmp, addr->h_length);
#else
if ((addr = hostGetByName(host)) == ERROR)
      err("bad hostname");
      sinhim.sin_family = AF_INET;
      addr_tmp = addr;
#endif

'hope that helps

Subject: LibCurl fails to resolve host on VxWorks platform

Hi All
 
File "Hostip4.c" of LibCurl uses "getHostByName()" function to get IP
addr of host given its name.
But this function is not defined for platform VxWorks.
So Libcurl fails to resolve the host and thus can not process the
request further.
Is there any workaround for this issue?
 
Regards
Sapana
