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...:) Pavel ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Max Rydahl Andersen" <max.andersen(a)redhat.com&gt; > To: &quot;jboss-as7-dev(a)lists.jboss.org Development" <jboss-as7-dev(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; > Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 12:30:44 PM > 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. > > /max > > > > _______________________________________________ > jboss-as7-dev mailing list > jboss-as7-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-as7-dev >
