    Interesting. Host can look it up:
    bash-2.05b$ host mr-chips-.deviantart.com
    mr-chips-.deviantart.com has address 69.28.181.43

    But the host name is itself invalid. From RFC 1035:

      The labels must follow the rules for ARPANET host names. They must
      start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior
      characters only letters, digits, and hyphen.

    My guess is Windows is actually munging it, when it would be better to
    return an error.

    Frem.
