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.
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.
Can anyone who actually has a commit-bit state why these haven't been added
yet?
..and, Crickets. :(
Is this question better asked on openssl-dev? What would it take to
actually solve this problem, which seems to be common?
