As the link below shows httplib can't handle an IPv6 address, it checks for
a port number by checking for a : but this simply cuts the IPv6 address in
two and tries to set the port variable as nonsense.

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81926#c2

Are there any plans to rectify this, or even an alternative version of
httplib kicking about that can handle IPv6.

Regards,

David.
