ipv6 host support

[ghazel]

Currently, if you try to use a server config like:

[server:main]
use = egg:Paste#http
host = ::
port = 80

you get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.socket.bind(self.server_address)
  File "<string>", line 1, in bind
socket.gaierror: (11001, 'getaddrinfo failed')

There are a few ways to add support for this. Here's one example:

in paste.httpserver.SecureHTTPServer.init:

def __init__(self, server_address, RequestHandlerClass,
             ssl_context=None):
    # This overrides the implementation of __init__ in python's
    # SocketServer.TCPServer (which BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer
    # does not override, thankfully).
    if ':' in server_address[0]:
        self.address_family = socket.AF_INET6
    HTTPServer.__init__(self, server_address, RequestHandlerClass)

Once that's fixed you run in to #275, and once that's fixed ipv6 support works!

diff for ipv6 support

[n.vandamme]

I've made a patch to allow ipv6 based on the last report (see diff httpserver.py.patch ). It seems to works on my side, can anyone test it?

IPV6 support for paste serve

Replying to n.vandamme:

I've tested it further and it seems to block using ipv4 addresses with the last patch. Here is another that force socket.AF_INET in case of an ipv4 address. (httpserver.py.2.patch )
