The BIO_s_connect() BIO method (which is used by BIO_new_connect()) only supports IPv4. (See also this thread on the subject from a couple years ago: [1]). You can make IPv6 connections (or, presumably, other stream socket protocols) by doing the underlying socket() and connect() calls yourself, then wrapping the connected fd in a BIO using BIO_socket_nbio(), BIO_new_socket(), BIO_set_conn_hostname().
