Options to force IPv4 or IPv6 #135

Closed rhansen closed 3 years ago

rhansen commented 4 years ago

IO::Socket::IP has a Family option that can be set to AF_INET or AF_INET6 to force A or AAAA lookups, and a Domain option that can be set to PF_INET or PF_INET6 to force the IP protocol. Please expose these options through the HTTP::Tiny constructor so that applications can force IPv4 or IPv6 connections.

Modules in the "Tiny" namespace should provide simple code that works for common use cases. Generally, it doesn't matter whether an HTTP request uses IPv4 or IPv6. I would encourage anyone interested in such customisation to use a more fully featured HTTP implementation instead.

I agree with Tom that this is outside the scope of HTTP::Tiny. Closing.
