Haproxy 1.7 and Ipv6-only hosts (4 replies)

Hi!

Since I've installed 1.7.1 version of haproxy over 1.6.10 – it stopped
working with ipv6-only backends (no A-record in DNS at all, only AAAA),
even with USE_GETADDRINFO=1 set. Haproxy says, that it 'could not resolve
address' and exits on a parsing phase.

The problem is in fuction str2sa_range, and a quick and ugly hack, which
made me happy (all my backends are dual-stack, or ipv6-only):

}
else if ((!resolve && !fqdn) ||
(resolve && str2ip2(str2, &ss, 1) == NULL)) {

Please, fix it.
