#1012: Bug in sesion handling when using IPV6
--------------------+--------------------------
Reporter:  skaplun  |      Owner:  skaplun
    Type:  defect   |     Status:  new
Priority:  major    |  Component:  WebSession
 Version:           |   Keywords:  IPV6 session
--------------------+--------------------------
 Currently, if a user visits Invenio with an IPV6 address, the session will
 be invalid because it's not possible to extract correctly it's IP address
 after the changes (re-)introduced in
 6459e40050209f3151d591a089243034f221351f

 Proper handling of IPV6 address must be introduced.

 To reproduce the error just add in your /etc/hosts file something like:
 {{{
 ::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback localhost
 }}}

 The browser will by default use ::1 when visiting localhost and this will
 trigger the session to be always invalid.
