jpr-ossl> OK. I suggest I prepare a patch that will not change them (they will jpr-ossl> be IPv4-only), will mark them with #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED, and jpr-ossl> will not add them to the .pod. Sounds reasonable? Yes. jpr-ossl> How about the problem of BIO_set_conn_ip/BIO_get_conn_ip being jpr-ossl> IPv4-only? Do you prefer BIO_set_conn_ipv6/BIO_get_conn_ipv6 as their jpr-ossl> IPv6-only counterparts, or some other way? How heavily is BIO_* used jpr-ossl> and how heavily are BIO_set_conn_ip/BIO_get_conn_ip used? They aren't used at all in OpenSSL itself, as far as I can see. As for the rest of the world, your guess is as good as mine. They way they work, I think that IPv6 variants is the way to go. jpr-ossl> And a third question -- the apps/*.c seem to use BIO_* for some tasks, jpr-ossl> but some other things they duplicate -- the name resolving and socket jpr-ossl> setup being a good example. Is there a plan (or a distant future jpr-ossl> target) to have apps/*.c fully use BIO_*? There's no specific plan for that. This is one of those times when I will simply tell you that patches are welcome! :-) jpr-ossl> I ask these questions to make sure I understand plans of the jpr-ossl> OpenSSL Team well and that the patches I'm going to prepare jpr-ossl> will have reasonable chance to be included in the core jpr-ossl> openssl. >From my point of view, as long as the apps/ stuff gives the same output for the same input, I have nothing against changes there (as long as they work all the way). I would be surprised if there was much protest from anyone else either. Cheers, Richard ----- Please consider sponsoring my work on free software.
