Do you really have a use case for this? RFC 1924 is an April 1st one, and I've never seen anybody actually use the base85 representation of IPv6 addresses anywhere. (In case somebody wants a quick try, ipv6calc supports it: % ipv6calc -O base85 2607:f8f0:610:4000:214:38ff:feee:b65a No input type specified, try autodetection...found type: ipv6addr B7RDhRib#Y+VwlwuPBOG ) -- Niko Tyni [email protected] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
