WinINet provides functions such as InternetCanonicalizeUrl, InternetConnect.
I would like to know if these calls work with IPv6 addresses?
In my application, which is using WinINet api for connection with an FTP server, is unable to access FTP server when IPv6 address is given.
According to MSDN WinINet supports IPv6 starting with the version bundled with IE7. See here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa385325(v=vs.85).aspx
For URLs, you might need to put the address in square brackets for it to work (there’s an example in the link above).
