site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com A few problem points I have come across: Interesting findings, though I'd classify it as rather a address parsing bug in Core Foundation or somewhere around that area. It is funny that they have survived this long. One could hope that the main reason for that is that people don't handle v6 addresses that much (which they shouldn't have to and which is a little cumbersome). Please file a bug at <https://bugreport.apple.com> or those issues will be there even longer. As you noticed, most things do work, and they are used. For example many services used with Bonjour prefer ipv6 when available, like afp mounting between two machines on the local network, which means that ipv6 is used daily by many (without them knowing (or caring)). /ragge _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

I'll have to see how well they accept the numeric form, as well as the named form. - try to connect to smb://[::1] with the Finder.

The command line ftp client works with no issues. - Finder accepts afp://[::1], but displays it as afp://::1/ in the error message. - Safari no handling link local IPv6 address properly, for example: http://[fe80::230:65ff:fed6:b164%25en0]/ , yet I can access the server with its IPv4 address: http://192.168.2.101/ - MacOS X's Network Utility can't handle IPv6, even for pings - Panic's Transmit does not support IPv6 (have contacted developers) I know most of these extend beyond Darwin into MacOS X, but since this is the form in which most people use Darwin it is worth including. It does show that even for a small handful of test cases IPv6 support still has issues. Andre This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
