I posted a question on stackoverflow detailing a problem I have 
encountered. The question is here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15227154/inexplicable-node-js-http-throwing-connect-econnrefused-ipv6

Unfortunately none of the answers have been helpful, so I am linking to it 
from here. The problem is this:

I am getting Error: { [Error: connect ECONNREFUSED] code: 'ECONNREFUSED', 
errno: 'ECONNREFUSED', syscall: 'connect' } whenever I try to connect using 
the http lib to an IPv6 address alias for localhost. My hosts is:

127.0.0.1   localhost myhost.local myhost255.255.255.255 broadcasthost::1       
      localhost myhost.local myhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost myhost.local myhost

I am running a Python server bound to myhost.local on ::1.8080.

Calling require('http').get('http://myhost.local:8080', ...) throws the 
above connect ECONNREFUSED.

It has been no trouble connecting to the host from other programs, such as 
telnet or wget.

I won't repeat all the details from the stackoverflow post, but there is 
some more information there that may help illustrate the problem.

I would be very grateful for any thoughts and suggestions.

Many thanks.

Brian
