Comment (by axeld):

 Thanks for your contribution! I haven't actually tested your code, but it
 does look okay and functioning.

 I have a few remarks, though:
 * Please try to follow our [https://www.haiku-os.org/development/coding-
 guidelines coding style] closely. A good start would be trying hard to not
 make your changes stand out, but it would be even more appreciated to give
 the guide itself a read :-)
 * Please consider using the BNetworAddressResolver class, as in the
 example from ttcoder 19 months ago. It has a much nicer API, and would
 allow you to avoid those stringify macros completely. It's also much less
 likely to leak any memory with it, although your patch seems to deal with
 that appropriately.
