WTF! Chrome this time
-
I just tried pasting 805241 into my Chrome address bar - and it goes to a search for that number. Nothing mysterious there. Perhaps your browser is haunted? Have you ever called in a IExorcist?

Try /805241/ . Does it on home PC too.

For some reason our proxy is blocking some urls on StackOverflow. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8052413/[^] Fails, but http://stackoverflow.com/questions/[^] works. So being 'clever' I copied the number part, and pasted it into URL. The number part being
/8052413/. (Or for the lazy ones http://8052413/[^], note even if you hover over it, you can see it transforms to the IP listed below). I'm sure no-one will guess what happened next! Chrome tries to go to: http://0.122.222.189/[^] :doh: :wtf: Edit: In fact our proxy seems to block with that number (specifically 805241)! Even bigger WTF! Edit 2: And before trying to be clever like TorstenH, the copy-paste transformation happens without even touching the proxy server. The fact about the proxy was purely a sidenote... Edit 3: Ooops! My bad, it is perfectly valid. Ignorance is bliss :)There is nothing WTF about that. That's the DWORD representation of the IP address. Not a bug in Chrome. All decent web browsers and HTTP clients would know how to convert a DWORD address to an IP address form. Or did you mean your proxy behavior to be the WTF here?

Chrome does the correct conversion between decimal and dotted-quad representations[^] of the IPv4 address, so where's the WTF? :confused:

Wow, first time I have ever heard or came across this. Why would you want such a feature though?

Doesn't surprise me:

You mean you can't do decimal <=> hex conversion in your head? :omg:

I can up to 255 with a lot of difficulties, I just picture in my head hex-dec matrix with the first row and the first column in the matrix taking all hex digits and the decimal numbers 0-15 inside. But as I said it takes me some time.

Read again... Failing to understand it, notice the transformation when you copy a number and paste in chrome. The proxy is not even involved yet... Do you understand now, or do you need more layman language?

I have been using hex since my first computing job (a very long time ago) so it has just "stuck". Mind you, I used to add up my shopping basket in the queue in the days before barcodes, so there is probably something wrong with my brain anyway! In this case, 800000 in decimal is in the Cxxxx range in hex, and C is 12, so it kinda leapt out at me.
