[New-bugs-announce] [issue30710] getaddrinfo raises OverflowError

[Radek Smejkal]

New submission from Radek Smejkal:

If the port argument is a number, getaddrinfo attempts to convert it to a C long, that raises OverflowError if the conversion fails.

Instead, getaddrinfo should convert the port to a string (bytes) directly and rely on the underlying getaddrinfo to return EAI_SERVICE. This is also consistent with the case when a numeric port is passed as a string.
