Listening on INADDR6_ANY not possible #1582
Description
Hi,
when starting the server while trying to listen on INADDR6_ANY, also known as "::", the server errors out. It's not accepting a simple "::". According to RFC4038 the addresses should be placed in brackets, even when not using a port, so the "::" turns into "[::]", doesn't work either.
After switching to the --bind-addr parameter the situation got worse, because now, using "::" together with a port isn't possible anymore. When following RFC4038 I'm neither able to use "[::]", nor "[::]:1234".
Same happens with INADDR6_LOOPBACK, e.g. "::1" or "[::1]" or "[::1]:1234".
KR,
G.
