I've been meaning to write notes about IPv6 for a long time, I've updated most
of my
components and applications, except the Internet Packet Monitoring Components
which
are 90% done, maybe next month, but also have some SSL improvements pending.
And a
component to automatically install free SSL certificates.
But essentially IPv6 just works once you set SocketFamily, several of the
samples
have examples.
One issue is presentation of IPv6 addresses, which usually have [] around them
so a
browser looks them up instead of searching Google, so I wrote a simple
formatting
function that creates [2a00:14f0:e03d:2::142]:21 if the IP address is IPv6, and
another that strips the brackets.
My public server has IPv6 versions of the ICS web and FTP servers for testing.
I
now have my own IPv6 address allocations, but still use free Sixxs IPv6 tunnels
for
testing due to firewall configuration issues.
BTW, none of my customers have ever asked about IPv6.
