Good Afternoon, Given the plethora of devices that MiNiFi may be installed onto, would it make sense to ensure we support IPv4 and IPv6?
For example, when searching for IPv4 tickets I found the following JIRA ticket that indicates we'll support IPv4. I'm abstracting some of the socket communications into an abstract facade to facilitate unit and integration testing more easily -- and simply to consolidate the code into a more maintainable format. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFI-159 Upon seeing this the code will not work with IPv6. Is this intentional? Should we change this to support either? We can retrieve the hostname regardless of the internet protocol version. Without further input my intent would be change to using getaddrinfo(...) withint MiNiFi-cpp. Would love to hear a discussion on whether making this change goes against the intent of the software. While we may not support IPv6 now, the code that exists now is more resilient, and is therefore on my radar to reduce artifacts. Thanks, Marc "aka. Marc"
