There are some differences in socket APIs between IPv4 and IPv6, especially in address data structures and address translation functions. To support both IPv4 and IPv6, libwww must cope with socket connection with multiple address families, i.e. AF_INET and AF_INET6. Some Web browsers support IPv6, for example, Lynx has a v6-capable implementation, and diffs are included in the INRIA v6 distribution. Also there should be a patch for NCSA Mosaic. (I heard that Mozilla is also v6-capable, but I'm not sure...) It seems that not so many changes are needed, as far as I glanced... -- kinuko Kinuko Yasuda (kinuko@sfc.keio.ac.jp) Keio University SFC, JAPAN.
