Re: [jboss-as7-dev] ipv6 "usability" question
Hi Max,
I really hate to use [xyz] anywhere I'd like to use literal IPv6 address. IP address
should be always without brackets! On the other hand, URL need brackets because URL port
(+ password) delimiter is the same as IPv6 IP's group delimiter - in this case [] are
needed in _every_ case, but again - only when we are using _literal_ IPv6 address, not
name. In an URL brackets are important to use because ambiguity can be occurred very
easily.
I hate the present (only one) possible option as ./standalone.sh ... -b [IPv6]
-bmanagement=IPv6 because it is really bad and at least unprofessional... in every case
we'd like to specify literal IP address, we should do this _only_ without bracket,
because this is only one possible text representation...
I guess, my thought isn't accepted by majority up to now (as we can see in present
AS7), but I'd like to bet future is mine...:)

Subject: [jboss-as7-dev] ipv6 "usability" question
Hi guys,
Trying to be sure our tools actually can connect/work with ipv6
enabled servers we're are hitting a bit of a snag.
Is it expected that clients unescapes/escapes ipv6 addresses or is
:::1 and [:::1] considered equivalent ?
i.e. do code need to add []'s when constructing urls, and remove []'s
when passing it to things that just need an address ?
Just wondering if we could tells users to put [::1] into hostname
fields if they want to use ipv6 - then we don't need to add all this
escaping/unescaping
for ipv6 in the UI layer of tools.
