The last mailing list entry I see, in the archive, is 2001 and there was a ticket opened with regards to IPv6 in 2006, with no activity. 19574 5 andrejohn.mas 2008-03-21 01:34:00 +0000 I have made some changes to the libwww library and have made them available here: http://www.geocities.com/ajmas/software/libwww-perl-5.808-ipv6.tgz I am going to see whether I can eventually get something more official done. It should also be noted that in doing this support for filtering out http://[::1] should be added to the validator. 19575 6 538 andrejohn.mas 2008-03-21 02:50:29 +0000 Created attachment 538 Modified W3C::Validator::UserAgent This is a modified version of W3C::Validator::UserAgent to filter out [::1] addresses. I have explicitly tested for [::1] since I couldn't work out how to gethostbyname() and Net::IP to play nicely with IPv6. Additionally it would appear the $uri->host() operation is returning a bracketed IPv6 address when it should not be. 19576 7 andrejohn.mas 2008-03-21 02:59:32 +0000 Changes in W3C::Validator::UserAgent seem to have issues. Ignore for now. 22979 8 martin 2009-01-07 20:43:06 +0000 the URL mentioned doesn't seem to be accessible, but http://www.ipv6.sixxs.net/ or http://www.ipv6.airwire.ie/ could be used for a test. Is there any progress on this ? 54391 9 jeromepoulin 2011-08-08 19:51:21 +0000 This bug has been open for so many years and still no progress. Adding me to CC anyway. 61677 10 baryluk-w3-bugzilla 2011-12-16 17:22:57 +0000 Please. This doesn't even work if I use URL without literal IPv6 address, but DNS name which have only CNAME/AAAA records. Validator says: 500 Can't connect to some.domain.name.com:80 (Bad hostname 'some.domain.name.com') Also validator.w3.org is not yet accessible over IPv6. It looks that development (officially) moved to http://gitorious.org/projects/libwww-perl A bug report is opened here https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=29468 Also same bug is reported in Debian repository http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=614948 For example it looks that connection functionality was moved to libnet-http-perl module. if someone with knowledge of validator code would step up, it should be less than hour of work to switch to new code, and test it. 61737 11 ville.skytta 2011-12-17 09:11:53 +0000 (In reply to comment #10) > It looks that development (officially) moved to > http://gitorious.org/projects/libwww-perl Actually it's https://github.com/gisle/libwww-perl > if someone with knowledge of validator code would step up, it should be less > than hour of work to switch to new code, and test it. There's no need for any knowledge of the validator code yet. When libwww-perl gains IPv6 support, then it's time to look into if something needs to be done on the validator side. 118571 12 mmn 2015-03-12 22:33:11 +0000 The following URL explains how to add IPv6 support to LWP: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2215049/how-do-i-enable-ipv6-support-in-lwp The "best answer", by user cjm, was: It looks like you just need to use Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6. To quote its example: use Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6; use LWP::Simple; print get( 'http://[::1]:80' ); print get( 'http://ipv6.google.com' ); Another answer, by Ondrej Prochazka, mentions that it might not work with "$ua = new LWP::UserAgent();", then running ->request on an object created from "HTTP::Request". I.e. this doesn't work: use Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6; use LWP::Simple; $ua = new LWP::UserAgent(); my $req = new HTTP::Request("GET", "http://[::1]/"); my $res = $ua->request($req); Do these hints help in any way to adapt the validator script to support IPv6 web sources? 538 2008-03-21 02:50:29 +0000 2008-03-21 02:50:29 +0000 Modified W3C::Validator::UserAgent W3C-Validator-UserAgent.txt text/plain 1509 andrejohn.mas cGFja2FnZSBXM0M6OlZhbGlkYXRvcjo6VXNlckFnZW50OwoKdXNlIExXUDo6VXNlckFnZW50ICAx LjkwIHF3KCk7ICMgTmVlZCAxLjkwIGZvciBwcm90b2NvbHNfKGFsbG93ZWR8Zm9yYmlkZGVuKQp1 c2UgTmV0Ojpob3N0ZW50ICAgICAgICAgcXcoZ2V0aG9zdGJ5bmFtZSk7CnVzZSBOZXQ6OklQICAg ICAgICAgICAgICBxdygpOwp1c2UgU29ja2V0NiAgICAgICAgICAgICAgcXcoaW5ldF9udG9wKTsK CnVzZSBiYXNlIHF3KExXUDo6VXNlckFnZW50KTsKCnN1YiBuZXcgewogIG15ICgkcHJvdG8sICRD RkcsICRGaWxlLCBAcmVzdCkgPSBAXzsKICBteSAkY2xhc3MgPSByZWYoJHByb3RvKSB8fCAkcHJv dG87CiAgbXkgJHNlbGYgPSAkY2xhc3MtPlNVUEVSOjpuZXcoQHJlc3QpOwogICRzZWxmLT57J1cz Qzo6VmFsaWRhdG9yOjpDRkcnfSAgPSAkQ0ZHOwogICRzZWxmLT57J1czQzo6VmFsaWRhdG9yOjpG aWxlJ30gPSAkRmlsZTsKICByZXR1cm4gJHNlbGY7IAp9CgpzdWIgcmVkaXJlY3Rfb2sgeyAKICBt eSAoJHNlbGYsICRyZXEsICRyZXMpID0gQF87CiAgcmV0dXJuICRzZWxmLT5TVVBFUjo6cmVkaXJl Y3Rfb2soJHJlcSwgJHJlcykgJiYgJHNlbGYtPnVyaV9vaygkcmVxLT51cmkoKSk7Cn0gCgpzdWIg dXJpX29rIHsKICBteSAoJHNlbGYsICR1cmkpID0gQF87CiAgcmV0dXJuIDEgaWYgKCRzZWxmLT57 J1czQzo6VmFsaWRhdG9yOjpDRkcnfS0+eydBbGxvdyBQcml2YXRlIElQcyd9IG9yCiAgICAgICAg ICAgICAgICEkdXJpLT5jYW4oJ2hvc3QnKSk7CgogIG15ICRhZGRyID0gbXkgJGlwdHlwZSA9IG15 ICRob3N0ID0gdW5kZWY7CiAgaWYgKCAkaG9zdCA9IGdldGhvc3RieW5hbWUoJHVyaS0+aG9zdCgp KSkgewogICAgJGFkZHIgPSBpbmV0X250b3AoJGhvc3QtPmFkZHJ0eXBlLCRob3N0LT5hZGRyKCkp IGlmICRob3N0LT5hZGRyKCk7CiAgICBpZiAoJGFkZHIgJiYgKG15ICRpcCA9IE5ldDo6SVAtPm5l dygkYWRkcikpKSB7CiAgICAgICRpcHR5cGUgPSAkaXAtPmlwdHlwZSgpOwogICAgfQogIH0KICAK ICBpZiAoICR1cmktPmhvc3QoKSA9PSAiWzo6MV0iIHx8ICgkaXB0eXBlICYmICRpcHR5cGUgbmUg J1BVQkxJQycpICkgewogICAgbXkgJEZpbGUgPSAkc2VsZi0+eydXM0M6OlZhbGlkYXRvcjo6Rmls ZSd9OwogICAgJEZpbGUtPnsnRXJyb3IgRmxhZ2dlZCd9ID0gMTsKICAgICRGaWxlLT57VGVtcGxh dGVzfS0+e0Vycm9yfS0+cGFyYW0oZmF0YWxfaXBfZXJyb3IgICAgPT4gMSk7CiAgICAkRmlsZS0+ e1RlbXBsYXRlc30tPntFcnJvcn0tPnBhcmFtKGZhdGFsX2lwX2hvc3RuYW1lID0+IDEpCiAgICAg IGlmICRhZGRyIGFuZCAkdXJpLT5ob3N0KCkgbmUgJGFkZHI7CiAgICAkRmlsZS0+e1RlbXBsYXRl c30tPntFcnJvcn0tPnBhcmFtKGZhdGFsX2lwX2hvc3QgPT4KICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAg ICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgKCR1cmktPmhvc3QoKSB8fCAndW5kZWZpbmVkJykgKTsKICAgICBy ZXR1cm4gMDsKICB9CiAgcmV0dXJuIDE7Cn0K
