--- Comment #5 from Rainer Canavan <[email protected]> --- I'm not sure if it is a realistic use case, since DNS entries are quick and easy to make, and IPv6 addresses are cumbersome in URLs, but my assumption was that NameVirtualHost should work for IPv6 as it does for IPv4. That is, one can run multiple VirtualHosts via NamevirtualHost on the same address:port, where one is identified by the address instead of a name. Since ServerName permits IPv4 addresses, it should also allow IPv6 addresses, or at least produce a clear error message and possibly also forbid IPv4 addresses. While the syntax in the documentation does specify [scheme://]fully-qualified-domain-name[:port], it is somewhat surprising to see something so "url-like" that only permits names, but not IP addresses for no obvious technical reason. I've only stumbled upon this issue while checking all aspects of IPv6 readiness of our product that I could come up with, by systematically trying everything with IPv6 that works with IPv4. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
