GS basic package IPv6 compatibility?

Everyone,

Well, basically your statement is true. However, the IP address is used at a handful of places in the GS code. An that's exactly where the underlaying protocal actually matters.

For IPv6 the remote IP address format retrieved by PHP would look similar to this: 2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fe93:dcd4, whereas for IPv4 it is something like 123.234.231.210. The composition of that string differs substantially.

Since that string is subsequentially used for e.g. hash calculation and other purposes, the format does matter, so in turn the underlaying protocol matters. If an unexpected format gets processed, PHP errors could be thrown.

What I saw when digging into the GS code is that regarding the basic package no problems should arise out of those differences. But I didn't dig deep, so that's why I was asking if anyone had more knowledge about potential problems arising out of IPv6.
