InternetAddress implementation

[pulyaevskiy]

Work has started here:

• https://github.com/pulyaevskiy/node-interop/blob/master/lib/src/internet_address.dart

Need to finalize, but there looks like no support for parsing IPs in to their in_addr format in Node. Might just throw UnsupportedError to start with.

For my part, I ended up using the ipaddr.js package.
See: https://github.com/cedx/nodejs-interop.dart/blob/master/lib/src/io/socket/internet_address.dart

That's what a Node.js developer would have done (i.e. use a dedicated npm module). I did not have the courage to translate the JS code of the ipaddr.js package to Dart code...

Clearly not a satisfying solution but it works.

Thanks for the feedback!

Looking now at my original comment I'm not sure why I needed in_addr actually. Just looked at the interface again and feel like there is no real blockers, but as you said just need to either port some logic from that npm package, or I also thought it would be worth looking in the Dart VM source code to make sure behavior is identical.

[pulyaevskiy]

Oh, I think I was looking for in_addr because native implementation uses inet_pton C function which is platform-dependent.

FYI: I ended up implementing what inet_pton is doing, published as 1.0.0-dev.2.0.

Wise decision to use a v1.0-dev tag because v0.1 tag did not give justice to your library that I find more advanced than mine :) great work !
