h1. Software that needs to be improved for IPv6
h2. xrdp
Does not listen on IPv6 sockets under Linux. See the "github bug":https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/1450
Applicable for at least version xrdp-0.9.13.1.
h2. hackney
... is a very popular Erlang HTTP client. It is used by many Elixir libraries. It's not possible to configure IPv6
(see "github bug":https://github.com/benoitc/hackney/issues/206). It is also used by "Pleroma":https://pleroma.social/
h2. cpanel
cpanel only resolves IPv4 addresses.
Code from 2017:
<pre>
sub _resolveIpAddress
my ( $host, %p_options ) = @_;
@addresses = Socket::getaddrinfo( $host, ( $p_options{'ipv6'} ? &Socket::AF_INET6 : &Socket::AF_INET ) );
</pre>
however p_options is always empty!

@cPanelPhilH We are having 3-4 customers in the backlog for cpanel support - do you have a statement that we can forward in terms of timing for IPv6 only support?

We have no plans of delivering IPv6 only support at this time, however that may change based on a number of factors, including demand.

As long as your beer counter went up then it's ok

Fair enough! In that case we will look into alternatives for these
customers at the moment. If you are interested in actively pursuing
it, we are open to helping you with infrastructure and knowledge -
just give me a ping.

h2. Openconnect
"Invalid host entry" when connecting to the VPN host via NAT64:
<pre>
Openconnect: not sure
[19:39] freiheit:~% openconnect --user=ABC --usergroup=XXX sslvpn.example.ch
POST https://sslvpn.example.ch/XXXX
Connected to [2a0a:e5c0:0:1:0:1:....:....]:443
SSL negotiation with sslvpn.example.ch
Connected to HTTPS on sslvpn.example.ch
XML POST enabled
Invalid host entry. Please re-enter.

This might be an endpoint / configuration issue.
h2. VPNC
* Resolves host names only for IPv4
h2. Clojure
* "clojure boot has no ipv6 support in the binary":https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/issues/757 (open since 2019)
* "clojure/lein/maven missing ipv6 support":https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/issues/2000 (open since 2015)
