Cool, good work. There are still things to work on, though: * Autoconf support. Since I don't want to support broken IPv6 implementations, we don't need to get fancy here. Checking for several IPv6-specific calls and defining IPv6 only if all of them are there. There should also be a flag to turn off IPv6 entirely at compile-time. * FTP. You said you'd look for help there, but I'd at least like to make sure that IPv4 sites work with FTP, even in "IPv6 mode". In fact, I dislike the idea of a "mode", and I think it should be used only to downgrade to IPv4 and for debug purposes. * You haven't answered my question about "scopes". Is it really safe to just store the IP address and then call it later, without also storing the address scope? Please take a careful look at this. * Style. Please take a look at Wget's coding standards (described in PATCHES file), and the accompanying GNU coding standards. Please don't use C++ comments. Please use lower-case variable names (`hostent' or `hptr' instead of HOSTENT).
