PSM needs to support IPv6 addresses.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Depends on: 48657
Attached patch proposed fixSplinter Review
Adding testcase URL.  Userid/password: dummy

hrm.. forgot about this "bug", in any case, IPv6 in the current PSM is working
now for me.
I cannot reach the above site, so IPv6 appears to not be supported yet.

This bug depends on NSS bug #48657, which was
fixed in NSS 3.1.  Since PSM is using NSS 3.1.1
now, I request that this bug be considered for
the next PSM release so that PSM can do SSL over
IPv6.

The patch looks good to me. r=ddrinan.
Whiteboard: r=ddrinan
Nit picked in code that predates the patch, but was modified by it:

!         prstatus = PR_GetIPNodeByName(conn->hostName, PR_AF_INET6, PR_AI_DEFAULT,
! 	
	buffer, 256, &hostentry);

Use sizeof buffer instead of 256.  (Style whine: indent buffer to underhang the
first actual param, conn->hostName.)

Fix the above and sr=brendan@mozilla.org. Thanks,

readability -- thanks.

Reopening. With the 1-2-00 WinNT trunk build, I cannot reach the above site, so 
IPv6 appears to not be supported yet.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED → ---
The test site in the URL does not appear to be in the DNS any more.

Even if it were there, this bug could only be tested on an OS which has IPv6 
support connected to an IPv6 capable network.  Windows and MacOS do not yet have 
IPv6 support.  Linux only has IPv6 support if the kernel is compiled with that 
support explicitly enabled.  The Netscape firewall does not pass IPv6 packets 
through to the Internet, so internal testers can only test against internal 
servers.

Reclosing FIXED.  CC'ing spstarr@visualnet.dhs.org, who provided the test case 
URL in a duplicate bug.  Hopefully spstarr@visualnet.dhs.org will be able to 
verify this bug.
