Hello,
When running the function is_ipv6 I ran into issues with it validating an IPv6 address which ends with double colon(::). An example would be 2001:: fails even though this is a valid IPv6 address. I did some investigation and its because split removes trailing null characters. This makes the test think that there is no empty chunk and less then 8 octets so it thinks this is not a valid IP address.
I have made a patch for this so I can continue my development however I was wondering what is your recommended solution? I have attached my patch as a reference.
Here is some information on what I am running:
Data-Validate-IP-0.11
5.8.8
Linux 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5
Thanks,
Alan
