100.100.033.033 is validated as ipv4

It probably shouldn't be.

Hi @thestick613 ,

Anything between 0-255.0-255.0-255.0-255 is considered as ipv4 address?

Can you specify why it is not validated as ipv4.

I too would have thought this should not be a valid address.
Leading zeros are typically not used, but it seems that is by convention.
Here are a couple of links discussing this:
https://superuser.com/questions/857603/are-ip-addresses-with-and-without-leading-zeroes-the-same
https://superuser.com/questions/929153/leading-zeros-in-ipv4-address-is-that-a-no-no-by-convention-or-standard

If testing potentially random strings, I would not want to this to be valid.
However, if testing an string that is expected to be an ip address, I might want to allow it as valid.

Would it be possible to make a more strict ip address validator to does not allow leading zeros?
