In the meantime maybe if there are free resources it would be great if IPv6
support gets added (e.g.
<https://sourceforge.net/p/oorexx/feature-requests/583/>) to ooRexx.
Not only has IPv6 become more and more important, some companies like Apple
mandate its support in
order to be listed in their catalogs ("markets") since 2015, e.g.
<https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=08282015a>.
Although IPv6 can be employed by ooRexx programs using the external Rexx
function package
BSF4ooRexx, it would be advisable to have native support for it as explained in
RFE 583.

[1] Cf. the BSF4ooRexx slides at
<http://wi.wu.ac.at/rgf/wu/lehre/autojava/material/foils/>, the
slide set "AutoJava-BSF4ooRexx-03-Sockets.pdf" presented on a past
Intenrational RexxLA symposium
(the slides also demonstrate how one can use SSL/TLS from ooRexx).
The Java classes that get used as ooRexx classes are documented here:
* Searching for "javadoc 8 InetAddress" yields:
<https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/InetAddress.html>: this
allows one to use
IPv4 and IPv6,
* Searching for "javadoc 8 Socket" yields:
<https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/Socket.html>.
* Searching for "javadoc 8 ServerSocket" yields:
<https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/ServerSocket.html>
The SSL/TLS classes that get used instead of the Socket and ServerSocket are:
* Searching for "javadoc 8 SSLSocket" yields:
<https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLSocket.html>.
* Searching for "javadoc 8 SSLServerSocket" yields:
<https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLServerSocket.html>
