[Libevent-users] evhttp client and IPv6

[Grega Kres <gregakres@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I've written a simple program to get data off HTTP servers. The gist of it is here: https://gist.github.com/gkres/4952640

It works as expected with ipv4, but I can't get it to work with ipv6. I searched around a bit and I'm getting mixed answers about if this is possible.

The libevent 2.0.21 source seems to suggest the socket is bound with AF_INET but some people are claiming it can be done, but don't provide any useful info beyond saying: "Libevent supports ipv6."

If this is in fact possible can someone help out with a working example?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
