IPv6 support #224

Open davidrg opened 1 year ago

davidrg commented 1 year ago

IPv6 support is increasingly more than simply a nice-to-have. This will likely depend to some extent on C-Kermit for UNIX/Linux/Mac supporting IPv6 so that the command parser can handle IPv6 addresses and DNS, etc, handle AAAA records.

Separate to C-Kermit for UNIX/Linux work in this area, the Winsock code in CKW will need to be adjusted to do IPv6 too.

SSH connections should already handle IPv6 because all of that is handled by libssh currently, though when support for SSH over HTTP proxies (#78) is implemented using a proxy will prevent connections to IPv6 hosts.
