InetAddress: converting from OID to string and then back to OID

Hi

 

I'm using net-snmp 5.4.0.

 

I have an object with a InetAddress as an index. I've got it from a
GetNext query, so first I have it in the response PDU as an OID, its
value equals {204.124.192.1}. Then I convert it from the OID form to a
string. At this point I've got the "204.124.192.1" back. That's due to
the fact that _get_realloc_symbol() function in mib.c has a special
handling of InetAddress.

 

Then I want to convert this string back to OID, but unfortunately the
_add_strings_to_oid() doesn't implement the same approach and translates
every single character of the string "204.124.192.1" as a number, i.e.
what I get back is a buffer {0x32 0x30  0x34 0x2e 0x31 0x32 0x34 0x2e
0x31 0x39 0x32 0x2e 0x01} instead of {0xCC 0x7c 0xC0 0x01}.

 

I want to make sure that it's really a bug and not my mistake.

 

Thanks,

Katy Sherman
