#644 closed enhancement (fixed)
Using IPv6 to connect into XMPP-server

Description
I'd hope that I could connect into XMPP-server using IPv6. Maybe some setting or specifying somthing like "-6" in server addition.
And more generally maybe a some setting where Bitlbee would prefer IPv6 over IPv4 in generally connecting somewhere, changeable ofcourse :)

Hi everyone,
Attached is the diff which adds IPv6 support to BitlBee. when AAAA records are found. This code uses getaddrinfo function.
tcp 0 0 2001:470:19:151:9:44073 2001:6f8:900:906:::5222 EST tcp 0 0 ::ffff:172.18.33.:58651 ::ffff:174.129.226:5222 EST tcp 0 0 ::ffff:172.18.33.:54291 ::ffff:208.68.163.:5222 EST tcp 0 0 ::ffff:172.18.33.:33241 ::ffff:208.93.0.12:5222 EST tcp 0 0 ::ffff:172.18.33.:39723 ::ffff:72.14.203.1:5222 EST
The sockets are created of type AF_INET6 and IPv4 addresses are represented as IPv6 addresses of type IPv4-mapped addresses.
ATM, its only tested on GNU/Linux. I'll test with FreeBSD in a day or two.
www.swissjabber.ch offers free XMPP server hosted on IPv6 internet, in case you want to test \o/

Please discard the previous diff.
The attached diff works for FreeBSD also. As long as global interface out option is not used this works great.

Sweet! I'll merge this in a few days, want to take a closer look at the diff.
The ClientInterface detail is a bit unfortunate, may be nice to find a solution for that later. (A ClientInterface6 or something, maybe.)

Thanks.

BtW in FreeBSD, the IPv4 connections are created via AF_INET sockets, as opposed to AF_INET6 sockets for all type of connections in GNU/Linux, as the getaddrinfo() implementation in libc of FreeBSD doesn't return IPv4 mapped addresses.

Applied in changeset:devel,643.
The V4MAPPED stuff was causing troubles on my Linux machine as well so I just removed it. If at some point someone really wants a clientinterface-like thing for IPv6 we can add that later.
Stuff also got a lot simpler by just passing the port number to getaddrinfo(), it'll then generate a fully functional struct sockaddr already.
Thanks!
