Dear all,

I'm using Pharo1.0rc1 Latest update: #10493, on Windows Vista , runtime
3.11.4.

Following test is going fine:
SocketTest>>testConnectToLocalhostThroughNetNameResolverAddressForNameLocalhost
|serverSocket clientSocket address|

serverSocket := Socket newTCP.
clientSocket := Socket newTCP.

[ serverSocket listenOn: 6665.
address := NetNameResolver addressForName: '127.0.0.1' timeout: 20.
clientSocket connectTo: address port: 6665]
ensure: [
clientSocket close.
serverSocket close.
]

(connect to a socket on localhost)

however, following test:

testConnectToLocalhostThroughNetNameResolverLocalHostAddress
|serverSocket clientSocket address|

serverSocket := Socket newTCP.
clientSocket := Socket newTCP.

[ serverSocket listenOn: 6665.
address := NetNameResolver localHostAddress.
clientSocket connectTo: address port: 6665]
ensure: [
clientSocket close.
serverSocket close.
]

is failing with following error:
ConnectionTimedOut: Cannot connect to:
fe80::6dd3:7860:93c9:46a0%10(PC_xxx),6665(6665)

BlockClosure>>ensure:
SocketTest>>testConnectToLocalhostThroughNetNameResolverLocalHostAddress
SocketTest(TestCase)>>performTest
[] in [] in SocketTest(TestCase)>>runCase
BlockClosure>>ensure:

I understand that the above address is an ipv6 address. (the NetNameResolver
localHostAddress lookup returns on my machine a ipv6 address)
If i do ipconfig on my machine:

Ethernet-adapter LAN-verbinding:

Verbindingsspec. DNS-achtervoegsel: lan
Link-local IPv6-adres . . . . . . : fe80::6dd3:7860:93c9:46a0%10
IPv4-adres. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.39
Subnetmasker. . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Standaardgateway. . . . . . . . . : 10.0.0.138

its the same ipv6 address.

Is it normal that the Socket class can not handle ipv6 addresses ? I get a
timeoutexception on it (however this happens immediately).

Is this the behaviour that i can expect ?
The reason i noticed this is that I'm trying Magma, the server in a separate
image but on the same machine, under ubuntu 9.10 everything worked fine,
under Windows Vista it crashed, since internally it also uses
NetNameResolver localHostAddress to connect to 'localhost', and i got the
same connect timeout exception.

In attachment, a fileout of the SocketTest (had to create a new testclass
for this :-( )

Kind regards,

Bart
