New submission from JIanqiu Tao <zko...@outlook.com>:
In Python 3.8+, when we run the http.server in a PC that support IPv6, it will bind IPv6 socket normally. On Linux or some other platforms, it also bind IPv4, that's pretty good, but on Windows, it doesn't work and "--bind 0.0.0.0" have to be provided to make it works in IPv4 environment. In another case, once someone only want the http.server provide service in IPv6 environment, but linux will still bind IPv4 socket automatically. Could we add a argument such as "--ipv6-only" for http.server and open the support of Dual-Stack socket by default? ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 357399 nosy: zkonge priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add IPv6 Dual-Stack control for http.server type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38907> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
