Yes, I'm aware of that. The problem is that the patch originally used would not compile on a significant number of platforms which are missing sockaddr_storage. Would it be sufficient for us to just read into a byte array large enough to hold all reasonable IPv6 encodings, and then cast it as appropriate? I have not had a chance to follow this idea through yet. Thankyou, -- Martin
