Re: How do we best approach IPv6 for OpenSSL?

Hello all,

today I discovered to my dismay that the OpenSSL
package lacks a fully implemented IPv6 capability.
In fact, the software tries to catch most returns
of IPv6 and reports them as errors.

This state of affairs is making the release goal
for full IPv6 support unattainable, as far as I
understand things. Is there someone planning any-
actions for OpenSSL?

I am aware that upstream of OpenSSl is not going
in that direction, but in comparison, my presently
oldest OpenBSD runs version 4.4, and there IPv6
is fully applied on top of OpenSSL.

Have a look at this:

Gert Döring won with his IPv6 patches for OpenVPN the first prize
of the IPv6 Competition which was sponsored by the Hasso-Plattner-Institute (one of the founders of SAP)

Maybe his patch can help?

Cheers
