Listening on INADDR6_ANY not possible

[Grimeton]

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.
