ipv6

[whoizit]

trying connect to bitlbee via "/connect host:port" via ipv6, but get Conection error (HUP). Will try to reconnect in 30 seconds.

but same with irssi works

tiny connected to bitlbee over ipv4

I can connect to default irc mozilla server.. ipv6 related problem?

It's right that tiny doesn't support ipv6 yet, but this shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Can you give the exact /connect command you tried to use?

Thanks for the issue.

I'm using host proxy.on.hyperboria.name, but u can't connect too it, cause it CJDNS darknet with own ipv6 subnet addresses. Also cause I'm turn off irc server on this address. Opened IRC servers with ipv6 addresses on this network for example irc.fc00.io, irc.hypeirc.net

U can try ipv6.irc.freenode.net, same behavior: /connect ipv6.irc.freenode.net 6667

[osa1]

Thanks for the details. I'll be fixing this over the weekend.

I have an implementation of this but I can't test it because it seems like I can't connect to any IPv6 IRC servers on my system. For example, when I tried to connect to freenode over IPv6 from irssi I get this:

11:02 -!- Irssi: Looking up ipv6.irc.freenode.net
11:02 -!- Irssi: Connecting to ipv6.irc.freenode.net [2001:5a0:3604:1:64:86:243:181] port 6667
11:02 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server ipv6.irc.freenode.net port 6667 [Network is unreachable]

So I'm not sure how to test my patch.

Hmm, would you be able to setup a local testing server that just listens on localhost, maybe connecting to ::1 in the client or something?

[whoizit]

u can publish patch right here, we can test it

@atommixz good idea, thanks. Just pushed the code to ipv6 branch.

[whoizit]

Can't compile on current nightly. I tried to add a line #![feature(const_atomic_bool_new)] to term_input-0.1.1/src/lib.rs but the same error

[osa1]

Ops, it seems the latest nightly just broke the build. It should be fixed now. Could you pull the branch and try again?

[whoizit]

Looks like works for me. But I can't connect to another one, its correct? Unsupported command: "/connect irc.mozilla.org 6667"

[osa1]

The syntax is /connect host:port, so you should try /connect irc.mozilla.org:6667. If you're already connected to this host (irc.mozilla.org) then tiny will just open that tab instead of creating a new connection.

[whoizit]

Ok. It works. Only one warning

Thank you very much. Very nice software!

I can't connect to 2 ipv6 servers same time. First server OK, second NOT OK.

02:37 Disconnected. Will try to reconnect in 30 seconds.
Connecting...                                           
Disconnected. Will try to reconnect in 30 seconds. 

but I can with irssi

[osa1]

Hmm.. Connecting to multiple ipv6 servers should work. We create a new socket for each just like how we do it for ipv4 servers. Could you share with me the /connect ... commands you're running?

[osa1]

Merged the branched to master, bumped version number and published it on crates.io.

Please open the issue again (or open a new issue) if it doesn't work for you.
