This patch adds support for IPv6 to lighttpd's mod_proxy. I posted it to lighttpd trac, but got no reaction. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 156645 [details, diff] Patch for lighttpd's mod_proxy to support IPv6
until we have a decent lighttpd maintainership, chances for this getting into gentoo are slim. when upstream merges it, we'll have it for sure. and there you may be more incentive for upstream to merge such a patch if it were a diff against trunk instead of the stable version... it appears to me they dont do new features in 1.4.x... (i may be wrong though) sorry for the negative reply, i dont want to discourage your efforts. those i applaud. thanks.
upstream has scheduled this feature for 2.4.23...
