ipv6 Support

Hey guys,

what about ipv6 support, or am i wrong and nsclient++ does already support ipv6?

I tried to bind the address to an ipv6 address, but it failed.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    I noticed that the nsclient++ is not yet IPv6 aware. When checking netstat it does not bind to the IPv6 stack for port 12489, only to the IPv4 stack. (listening on 0.0.0.0, not ::1)

    I couldn't figure out a way to have the application itself bind to the ipv6 stack, so I used a little windows trick, which seemed to have worked, as I can now query servers over the ipv6 protocol.

    netsh interface portproxy add v6tov4 listenport=12489 connectaddress=local-ip connectport=12489

    Where local-ip is your IPv4 address. (NOT 127.0.0.1 as that didn't work, only works with the actual ipv4 address)

    BTW this command is persistent and will stay active across reboots.

      This should be fixed (ish) in 0.4.0 but it is not a priority (should it be?) at the moment. So the configuration bits are not 100% yet and neither is the allowed_hosts handling (which does not work with ipv6 addresses). But apart from that 0.4.0 should be ipv6 ready...
