The getnameinfo(3) code is in a #ifndef NO_IPV6 block anyways, so it won't hurt non-ipv6 builds. afaik getnameinfo(3) is available when getaddrinfo(3) is and that seems to be the case on newer windows versions. > But even on non-Windows, a directory name with colons does not look kosher > to me.

I did a quick test with apache's VirtualDocumentRootIP and it looks like they are using :: only when it's unambigous. And yes, they use colons in the file name. ::1 stays ::1 2001:db8::abab:abab:0:abab:abab becomes 2001:db8:0:abab:abab:0:abab:abab I don't know if they also use colons on windows because I don't have a windows box with IPv6 to test. -->8-->8-- httpd.conf: VirtualDocumentRootIP /foo/bar/%0 now point your browser to http://[::1]/ and watch your logs. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
