Why dont use struct addrinfo hints and function getaddrinfo to can use ipv4 and
ipv6?

Just because the code was done in 2002 and probably at that time I used the old socket style. No reason why it shouldn't support Ipv6 (except for the fact that you have to device another separator for the port number; ":" is no longer a valid symbol for that).

However, no much time to upgrade the code to support Ipv6 (from my part), 
though.
