Dns resolver ipv6 #1082
Description
Activity
I think @cjihrig did a lot of the ipv6 stuff
@0x4139 could you please provide some example code of what you're looking for? For example, the following code will only work if you uncomment the
family: 6line.'use strict'; var http = require('http'); var server = http.createServer(function(req, res) { res.end(); }); server.listen({port: 4000, host: '::1'}, function() { var connection = http.get({ port: 4000, // family: 6 }, function() { server.close(); }); });
Or, is the problem with trying to force something like
localhostto bind to IPv6?ping @0x4139
@silverwind sorry for the delayed answer this is what i was looking for!
@cjihrig the
familyoption there is only used for resolution ofhost, right?@silverwind, yes I think it's currently undocumented behavior, but the
familyoption eventually makes its way here to resolve the host.- added a commit that references this issue

require('http') is responsible for passing the host to the dns resolver, when the the address you want to bind on is ipv6 the dns resolver should return the ipv6 address instead of the ipv4 one.
