RE: openssl and ipv6

[mclellan_dave]

You can you OpenSSL with IPv6 freely.    We are driving OpenSSL sessions across IPv6 networks with no trouble,  AS LONG AS you do not use BIOs for looking up host names and IP addresses. Based on my own experience, you should do your own lookups and make the connections, then call  SSL_set_fd() to associate the connected socket with an SSL session context.   As fas as 0.9.7d,  it doesn't know how to use getaddrinfo().    It looks like 0.9.8a doesn't either.   I don't know about later 0.9.8's.     I hope I haven't misrepresented anything here.    Dave McLellan - Consulting Software Engineer Storage Platforms, Enablers, and Applications EMC Corporation 228 South St. Hopkinton MA 01748 phone: 508-249-1257 fax 508-497-8030   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anand Thakur Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 5:25 AM To: openssl-users@openssl.org Subject: openssl and ipv6 Hi, Does anyone have an idea about how much IPv6 compliant is OpenSSL? I plan to use both 0.9.7b and 0.9.8.   Thanks Anand
