In case anyone wants to know what not to talk about.
An ipv6 address turns my brains thinking center off. Short circuit at how fucking stupid it looks.
No different the 10.A4.b2.12
I wrote and ipv6 parser once.
Never again.
As in a regex or ..?
An ipv4 parser would also be sorta difficult.
you have to account for the fact that all the octets can be added to decimal: http://2130706433 (valid 127.0.0.1)
or the fact that octets can be in different formats: http://0x7F.0x0.0x0.0x1 (127.0.0.1)
or the fact that you can mix octet formats: http://0xC0.0250.0.1 (192.168.0.1)
Yeah a mix of regex and heuristics to validate before parsing
It was a long time ago now
It also had to parse ipv4 because they can be embedded (IIRC) and the different octet formats
