What happens now if the ip/hostname is invalid? Does it crash somewhere, or does it just not work? Wouldn't it be nicer to have an error message similar to the one removed here?

Agree that it would be better to keep the validation check, but it looks like the check for valid hostnames can be quite extensive per RFC1123; maybe better to defer it to the hostname lookup stage?

But then won't it fail in the getaddrinfo call (line 1169)? Shouldn't it print an error message (some log_error()) there? Right now it feels like it just does exit(1), so we won't know what happened from the logs, right? Or did I miss something?
