Hey there,
Apparently supporting ipv6 literals like "[openssl s_client -connect
'[2001:4f8:0:2::d]:443'" in s_client is oft-asked for but
never-implemented, to the point where there are blog articles like this
out there:
https://lwn.net/Articles/486369/, and most OSes that want to support this,
are applying the patches themselves at all, if at all. It would be nice
if there were a unified answer in the base distro.
This is an already-solved problem. There are minor patches, which are
already submitted (years ago) and which don't affect any of the
production libraries, since s_client is really only supposed to be used
for testing, so by making this change, it's not like you're going to break
firefox, apache, and openSSH.
Can anyone who actually has a commit-bit state why these haven't been
added yet, privately to me if not on-list?. I asked (twice) on
openssl-users and got zero response, so I'm trying here.
