Hi,

Does Openssl support IPv6 officially?.

AFAIK the libssl and libcrypto libraries do not use sockets at all,
these are left to the applications/libraries using them.

So openssl does neither support ipv4 nor ipv6.

apparently you've never used s_client, or looked at the *ancient* bug explicitly asking that IPv6 support be added for s_client & s_server in OpenSSL. It even has a patch that's been widely used for years by major linux distributions.

It boggles the mind that to this day that patch has not been integrated in the 5 years since the bug was opened.

See <http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2051>, <https://bugs.debian.org/589520>
