Chrome routes http://0.0.0.0:* to Google Search

I'd guess most applications that accept it replace it with 127.0.0.1 or resolve localhost. 0.0.0.0 is not a valid IP address and should be rejected by the network stack if passed in directly.

0.0.0.0 works fine on Linux in connect() and just goes to 127.0.0.1 as one would expect.

Why would "one" expect a non-routable, invalid destination address to go anywhere at all?
