[jboss-remoting-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBREM-1164) Remoting shouldn't require IPv6 addresses to be surrounded by brackets

[Ron Sigal (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBREM-1164?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12490251#action_12490251 ] 

Ron Sigal commented on JBREM-1164:
----------------------------------

In principle, I think the rules should be:

1. an IPv6 address MUST NOT contains brackets
2. a URL with an IPv6 MUST contain brackets.

That would make 

  run.sh -b [::127.0.0.1]

illegal.  However, it might make sense, for backwards compatibility, to loosen the rules to allow [::127.0.0.1]  In that case, org.jboss.remoting.transport.Connector should check for the presence of brackets in address strings.

> Although IPv6 addresses are surrounded by brackets in URLs, the addresses themselves don't have brackets.  Thus, it should be possible to start the Application Server with
>    run.sh -b ::1
> instead of requiring
>    run.sh -b [::1]
