Mathopd Patch

Patch to Avoid IPv4-mapped IPv6 Addresses

Mathopd 1.6, in beta status at this writing, supports IPv6 but it uses IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when runs on a dual stack host. This patch makes Mathopd use separate sockets for IPv4 and IPv6 and avoid mapped addresses.

• User visible changes
  • Options v6only was removed from the configuration file. Use Family inet for IPv4 servers, Family inet6 for IPv6 servers, or no Family for IPv4/IPv6 dual stack servers.
  • Mapped addresses will not be written into log files any more.
  • CGIs will no longer receive mapped addresses via environment variables.
• Internal changes
  • Each protocol family uses its own socket. This means that one server (struct server) now may have multiple sockets (struct server_socket).

No-mapped-address patch for Mathopd 1.6b12.

• To Do
  • It should be possible to configure multiple Addresses in a Server. For example, you may want to listen on both 2001:db8::1 and 192.0.2.1.
