My understanding is that since Java 1.4, there have been support for IPv6. AFAIK this is transparent and code wise we don't really have to do anything special. But of course we have to test this out and see. > > 2. Adding literal IPv6 support to any URL parsing. This is where I suspect we will need some work. The URL parser **may** fail when we use a IPv6 address. If it does not, then that would be a real bonus.
