apr_inet_pton

[Cesar Silveira <ce...@tet.com.br>]

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this. Does anyone know why 
apr_inet_pton seems not to be available in the APR library's public API? 
By looking at the source code I have found it is only implemented on 
UNIX-specific files. However, I was able to take the code and simply 
paste and compile it on Visual Studio 2005 and it worked perfectly.

I'll be really glad if anyone can provide me some input on that.

Thanks,

Well, I need to do what apr_inet_pton does: convert and IPv6 address
from string format to binary format. I think it would be nice for APR
to offer such functionality since Windows doesn't have anything
similar to apr_inet_pton (yes, there are ways to accomplish the task
in Windows, but they all perform network communication, which results
in performance loss).

APR questions are better suited to the apr-dev mailing list. What you
need to do with apr_inet_pton that cannot be done with other public APR
functions?
