Please do so if you find it useful. You maintain this module, not me.
The platform test is '#ifdef __sgi'.

We now know of 2 platforms which don't support "https" here. I think it's
worth now to write a getaddrinfo wrapper which translates "https" to "443"
by use of getservbyname or getservbyname_r and then calls the original
getaddrinfo. Yes, that would be a different implementation than the current
100% replacement in getaddrinfo.c.
