Comment (by graziosi.angelo@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 cal@…]:
 > That's because the test is new since r99755, which wasn't in any
 released version but 2.2.0. Try opening invalid-host.macports.org in a
 Browser and see what happens. If you don't see an error message printed by
 your _browser_, you're affected by the problem. As the warning says, this
 might not always cause problems for you.

 Let's see if I have understood..

 With MacPorts 2.2.0 has been introduced a test which tries to load a not
 valid host (invalid-host.macports.org), so that the test HAS success if it
 PRODUCES an error (indeed when I put invalid-host.macports.org in the
 address bar of Chrome, I got an error). And this is flagged to the user
 with that warning.

 So, in short, the warning really means "OK, you have a good connection
 etc.."

 Is that interpretation right?


 Ciao,
 Angelo.
