Unknown `InternetAddress` calls in log of the Dart Network Tool

While debugging some REST calls I stumbled upon a lot of get calls of this type:

Can anyone explain to me what the entries with the form

GET InternetAddress(ipAddressString, IPv4) Type ws mean and where the origin of that could be because I know of none of our own code that would do that and the IP address can't be looked up and I have no idea what sort of target this could be.

Interestingly these lines only recently in the network view but I don't know if this is because of new features in the network view or because we added some package that does these calls.

The "ws" part are a known bug (reported by me 3 years ago...): https://github.com/flutter/devtools/issues/3033

It is most likely TCP sockets themself you are seeing where the HTTP/HTTPS traffic are going though. If you are not reusing your HttpClient instance, it will not try reuse existing connections which can give this pattern you are seeing where you are seeing new sockets getting created to the same endpoint.
