Such an interface was (purposely) left out of -> the ipv6 socket API. To support what David has said, read this thread about IPV6_HDRINCL socket option: http://www.cs-ipv6.lancs.ac.uk/ipv6/mail-archive/IPng/1996-12/0068.html In other words, designers of IPv6 Socket API thought there won't be any need for IPV6_HDRINCL option simply because every IPv6 option and extension headers can be managed by other socket options. That said, WinSock supports this (non-standard) option: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/win sock/ipproto_ipv6_socket_options.asp Thanks, Venkata. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
