Issue #3953 has been updated by akr.

Description updated

If we implement this feature, we need a method for duck type, such as IPAddr#to_ipaddress to convert to IP-address string.

 I noticed that TCPSocket/UDPSocket only accept String IPs/Hostnames, but not IPAddr objects. This is counter-intuitive since IP Addresses, along with Hostnames, are used to connect/bind to sockets.
 
     require 'socket'
     require 'resolv'
     
     ip = IPAddr.new(Resolv.getaddress('www.example.com'))
     sock = TCPSocket.new(ip,80)
     TypeError: can't convert IPAddr into String
 	from (irb):5:in `initialize'
 	from (irb):5:in `new'
 	from (irb):5
=end
