I just created this simple program in nodejs, but i can't bind it to the
ipv6 address of my NIC.
I read in the API docs the following: *localAddress: Local interface to
bind for network connections.*
//------------------------ PROGRAM START ------------------
var http = require('http');
var options = {
hostname: 'www.whatismyipv6.com',
localAddress: '2a01:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::2' //a real ipv6 address here
};
var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log(chunk.toString());
});
});
req.on('error', function(e) {
console.log('ERROR: ' + e.message);
});
req.end();
//------------------------ PROGRAM END ------------------
But when i execute the program i get this (no errors are raised). Note the
ipv4 address.
<head>
<title>WhatIsMyIPv6? (IPv4: xx.xx.xxx.xxx)</title>
<meta name="bitly-verification" content="984886d337a6"/>

It looks like nodejs is ignoring the localAddress and is binding directly
to the ipv4 address.
