I cannot find any reference to AF_INET6 in the sources, though I can
find AF_INET. This means that IPv6 is not supported.
If you want to use the BIO API to communicate instead of the socket API,
there
is a problem with UDP and IPv6. See
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg24282.html.
Otherwise if you use the classic socket, you can easily have IPv6support
it with OpenSSL (either with UDP or TCP) by
declaring your socket, bind it to IPv6 address and then pass it to an
SSL objects (SSL_set_fd, ...).

Michael: software does need to support IPv6 in order to use it without
going through a gateway of some kind. The reason is that nobody's
figured out how to fit 128 bits of address data into the 32 bits
allowed by IPv4. Your local manual pages can describe how to use IPv6
in software -- the most useful of which is section 4, "ip6". Contrast
this to section 4, "ip".

Which is the first and stable version that adds support for IPv6 in
OpenSSL ?
SSL operates atop TCP. Whether this supports IPv6 is left as an exercise
for the reader.

PS Does your web browser support IPv6? Does your monitor? How about
your keyboard?
