questions about Apache 2.0 on Solaris 7

[Jeff Trawick <tr...@attglobal.net>]

Can anybody verify the following on Solaris 7?

a) APR recognizes and deems usable the OS's IPv6 support (i.e., it
   sets APR_HAVE_IPV6)

b) Apache IPv6 support doesn't interfere with normal operation on
   IPv4-only host

c) Apache is actually able to exploit IPv6 without any apparent
   problems

Thanks!

Ouch!  Thanks for the info.

I found a web page at sun for these patches.  The words they use
aren't inspiring ("this prototype is not officially supported").

It sounds like you should upgrade to Solaris 8 if you really want IPv6
code that has been updated recently.

I no-longer have a sol7 box on hand, but I do know that Solaris 7 does not
support IPv6... APR_HAVE_IPV6 should be undef'd.

IPv6 support in Solaris 7 was a internal Sun project, and the patches you
had to apply to sol7 to get IPv6 support could be applied only to Solaris
7 FCS (the first release, non-patched).
