Hi, If this is of interest to anybody, I just committed an update to the c-ares asynchronous DNS resolver library, and also a little change to the cURL port, finally allowing it to do async DNS lookups when IPv6 support is enabled.
I intend to turn IPv6 support on by default for the upcoming curl-7.20.0 update in a couple of days. If anybody has any strong reasons why this should not be done[1], please speak up now :) G'luck, Peter [1] I mean, besides the obvious "one more DNS query and a failed connect() call" - too many other applications have done this by default for the past five, if not ten, years, and there's a growing number of instalations (well, okay, still a minority, but still...) where the connect() call will *not* fail :) -- Peter Pentchev r...@ringlet.net r...@space.bg r...@freebsd.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint 2EE7 A7A5 17FC 124C F115 C354 651E EFB0 2527 DF13 This sentence would be seven words long if it were six words shorter.
