Requests_IPv6 WordPress Class

The Requests_IPv6 class is a simple wrapper around the native HTTP requests class that adds IPv6 support. It does this by overriding the default IP address resolution functions with ones that support both IPv4 and IPv6. This class is useful for users who need to connect to IPv6 addresses, as well as for users who want to maintain compatibility with both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

Requests_IPv6 #

Class to validate and to work with IPv6 addresses


Description

This was originally based on the PEAR class of the same name, but has been entirely rewritten.
