Subject: apr_get_ipaddr() and IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses
Reply-to: trawickj@bellsouth.net

Does anyone have a desire to see strings like "::ffff:127.0.0.1"
instead of strings like "127.0.0.1" for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses?
The former format is what we currently have.  The latter is much more
user friendly.  Here are examples from both formats in the Apache
access_log:

::ffff:127.0.0.1 - - [04/Dec/2000:16:39:58 -0500] "GET /" 200 0
127.0.0.1 - - [04/Dec/2000:16:41:27 -0500] "GET /" 200 0

I'll make the formatting change unless somebody objects.

(If/when apr_get_ipaddr() is replaced by the function David Reid
mentioned recently we can make the change there too.)
