This function can be used to set the Internet protocol to be used by functions
like OpenConnection(), CreateServer(),
CreateUDPObject() and DownloadFile()
if no explicit protocol has been requested.
You have to pass the desired default Internet protocol in the protocol
argument.
This must be one of the following special values:
#IPV4:
-
Use Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). IPv4 addresses are limited to 32 bits
and are represented using four numbers separated by three dots, e.g. 127.0.0.1.
#IPV6:
-
Use Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). IPv6 addresses use 128 bits and are
represented by eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, e.g. 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334.
Note that
#IPV6
is currently unsupported on AmigaOS and compatible systems.
#IPAUTO:
-
Let the host operating system determine the Internet protocol to use.
Due to historical and portability reasons, #IPV4
is the default network protocol
Hollywood will use. If you want to change this default, call this function.
