65271 - IPv6: socket transport needs IsIP6Socket() function

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

FTP needs to know if the underlying socket is ip6 or ip4.  It must do the following:


        if (NS_SUCCEEDED(rv)) {
            PRNetAddr addr;
            if (PR_StringToNetAddr(mIPv6ServerAddress, &addr) != PR_SUCCESS ||
                PR_IsNetAddrType(&addr, PR_IpAddrV4Mapped)) {
                nsMemory::Free(mIPv6ServerAddress);
                mIPv6ServerAddress = 0;
            }
            PR_ASSERT(!mIPv6ServerAddress || addr.raw.family == PR_AF_INET6);
        }
    }


The nsISocketTransport should do this for us so that we can hide this nspr stuff.
