IPv6 problems in delegate9.6.3-pre5
Problem 1:
Can't use ipv6 dns servers.
Example: first one works ok, second one fails to contact dns server
./delegated -v -P__:3129 SERVER=http RESOLV=dns RES_NS=192.103.98.2
./delegated -v -P__:3129 SERVER=http RESOLV=dns RES_NS=2001_670_aa__11
I noticed this because the testserver has only ipv6 addresses to
nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf.
Problem 2:
Delegated leaks it's internal presentation of ipv6 addresses to web
pages. Start an ftp-server...
./delegated -v -P__:3129 SERVER=ftp
Contact http://localhost:3129/ and you will get error page
"*** Protocol Mismatch ***
...
... If you intend to contol this DeleGate server, see here."
The target of link "here" is "http://__1:3129/-/". That link makes no
sense to browsers. In needs to be "http://[::1]:3129/-/".
Problem 3:
Start server as
./delegated -v -P__:3129 SERVER=http
Contact address "http://[::1]:3129/x" and you will get
"URL is Unknown or in Syntax Error
...

The "@_@" is link to "http://[1]:3129/-/" while it should point to
"http://[::1]:3129/-/".
Despite all these problems the program seems to work well where I need
it to work. I use it as ftp-over-http proxy to contact both ipv4 and
ipv6 hosts.
