--- Comment #33 from Philippe Verdy <[email protected]> 2011-05-10 17:14:41 UTC --- Impolite, once again... When you don't want to read and just give insults, I won't follow your advice, others than you will read, and IPv6 support is not just a RFE, but we have seen above that this was a security issue, and that full support for it required compatibility and security tests, depending on the webserver used and on the compiled in the PHP version used on that server. IPv6 is not already deployed and is the only safe alternative to connect to many wiki sites (not just Wikimedia), because many users have limited support for sessions in IPv4 (this works for browsing, but not very well for contributing/editing), or need to pass through shared proxies provided by their ISP (that cause lots of problems on large wikis, notably abuses that can't be simply filtered by their IPv4 address). This includes now many users connected via broadband mobile networks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
