Hi,   Thanks for the reply. My apologies for not mentioning the system details.   I am using curl 3.x version on a linux(fedora 8). There are many formats of IPv6-IPv4 mixed addressing. I require to connect to IP of the following format. http://[2001:1890:110b:151e:20d:56ff:254.197.153.216] Browser(Mozilla) is able to resolve this link. But libcurl gives -> getaddrinfo(3) failed. Any idea why is it not working for this format ?

Example : 805B:2D9D:DC28::FC57:212.200.31.255 This is the sample code that I wrote #include <stdio.h> #include <curl/curl.h> int main(void) { CURL *curl; CURLcode res; curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "/*any mixed address*/"); curl_easy_setopt( curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1 ); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); /* always cleanup */ curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } return 0; } When I provide pure IPv6 address it works fine but when I try with mixed address as mentioned above I get the following *error.getaddrinfo(3) failed for IP: ... * Couldn't resolve host * Closing connection #0 * couldn't resolve host name Is there a problem in the way I am implementing or is mixed addressing not supported by lib-curl?
