[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JGRP-544) IPv6: mcast_addr needs to be defined with backslashes

Bela Ban commented on JGRP-544:
-------------------------------

Fixed, waiting for testsuite to pass until resolving it.
Now backslashes are not needed for protocol attribute values, e.g. to define an IPv6 mcast_addr, the following works:

<UDP  mcast_addr="ff18:eb72:479f::2:3" mcast_port="2553" ... />

The colons in mcast_addr do not need to be escaped with a backslash any longer. Note that '(', ')' and '=' are still reserved characters and cannot be used as part of an attribute name or value.

> - Investigate use of IPv6 in a non-dual stack environment (only IPv6 stack available): an mcast_addr like "228.8.8.8" is not recognized then
> - mcast_addr needs to be IPv6 and escaped with back slashes, e.g. "mcast_addr=ff18\:eb72\:479f\:\:2\:3". Change parsing for mcast_addr and bind_addr so we don't need backslashes
