[Fwd: PlainSocketImpl.socketGetOption1() ?]

[Christopher Hegarty - Sun Microsystems]

Hi Roman,

This method was added as part of the changes for 4868820: "IPv6 support 
for Windows XP and 2003 server", back in 1.5. But I cannot see anywhere 
that it is called, or as you said even implemented, even when it was 
originally added. I suspect that it was left over from some redesign 
when adding the IPv6 support.

I actually noticed this went adding support for the dual TCP/IP stack in 
vista, DualStackPlainSocketImpl, and even added a comment to remind me 
to remove it!

I will file a new bug against this to have it removed and update this 
mailing list with the bug number when I have it.

-Chris.
