Hello,
When using ip_compress_address I ran into an issue with IPv6 addresses being double compressed. An example would an address like 2001:0:0:1::1 gets compress to 2001::1::1 which is not a valid ipv6 address since there can only be one :: the proper address is 2001:0:0:1::1.
I solved this by using ip_normalize before I compress. This way I know the address is normalized/expanded first before compressed each time.
In order to continue with my development I made a patch and have attached it in this email. However what is your suggested solution?
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
