String-based matching does seem a little bit unwholesome to me. I agree with the previous comments that a CIDR scheme would be better, so in your example above you would write "192.168.0.0/16". This seems like it would map much better to real-world use cases for both v4 and v6. p. ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
