My understanding is that Ruby supports IPv6 natively if the platform
it is running on do.

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8 > ruby -e “puts (require ‘ipaddr’)”
true

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8 > ruby -v
ruby 1.8.0 (2003-01-30) [i686-linux]

http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=shim-ruby16_18

[ipaddr] Manipulates an IP address

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8 > grep IPv6 ipaddr.rb | head -3 | tail -1

IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.

this looks promising - i’ve never used it though :wink:

Yep, with the usualy dual stack gotchas, for example if you don’t have
an IPv4 mapped IPv6 address, you must listen on both IPv4 and IPv6
sockets. Works great on all my boxes, I once had somebody from IRC type
a naughty thing on a simple test server via IPv6 :slight_smile:
