Hi,
I've just been hacking around a little bit to add IPv6 capability, and
I thought of syntax for host and port specifications.
As it is now, the syntax used a little everywhere in OpenSSL is
{host}:{port}. Unfortunately, if we're to support IPv6 numeric
addresses, I find myself in a little bit of trouble, as IPv6 numeric
addresses contain colons! That makes it hard to distinguish the port
delimiter with parts of the IP address...
So, I'm looking for proposals on a new syntax to separate IP address
from port number. Any suggestion?
This is how Cisco does that:

I assumed this was the standard format. The software I've written so far
(in OpenLDAP among other things) uses this approach.
