Subject: Bad arg length for Socket6::unpack_sockaddr_in6, length is 16, should be 28
I use LWP::Protocol::socks to add socks support to WWW::Mechanize and when IO::Socket::INET6 is installed I get this error when trying to retrieve https web pages: 500 Bad arg length for Socket6::unpack_sockaddr_in6, length is 16, should be 28 Which makes the request fail. When uninstalling IO::Socket::INET6 all is good again. This bug is triggered without using directly the module, just having it installed.

This appears to be the same bug reported here: http://bugs.debian.org/607674 Any idea of the status here?
  Mon Nov 28 00:38:14 2011 The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

I don't recall getting the original report, but you can speed things up by creating a reproducing testcase. I'll try to investigate all that soon. I should note that IO::Socket::IP aims to be a better alternative to IO::Socket::INET6 : http://metacpan.org/release/IO-Socket-IP . Regards, -- Shlomi Fish

Hi, Here is a test case: #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use LWP::UserAgent; use LWP::Protocol::socks; my $m = LWP::UserAgent->new(); ## IMPORTANT: launch "ssh -D9999 localhost" in a terminal before testing $m->proxy(['https'], 'socks://127.0.0.1:9999/'); my $r = $m->get('https://encrypted.google.com/'); print $r->status_line, "\n"; ## EOF

After a long investigation, I found out that it was caused by this IO::Socket bug: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=61577 Regards, -- Shlomi Fish

Hi, Following you link and installing the lastest IO (1.99) doesn't fix the bug.
