Well, I need to do what apr_inet_pton does: convert and IPv6 address from string format to binary format. I think it would be nice for APR to offer such functionality since Windows doesn't have anything similar to apr_inet_pton (yes, there are ways to accomplish the task in Windows, but they all perform network communication, which results in performance loss). > Regards, > > -- > Davi Arnaut > -- César L.
