Review request for Asterisk Developers.


Summary
-------

This patch allows for IPv6 addresses to be used when configuring the HTTP server in Asterisk.

There is a behavior change here as well. Since ast_sockaddr_resolve() returns an array of addresses, we'll iterate over the addresses returned until we're able to properly start the server. Adding logic to fail back to a cached address was not added, as the scope of that is quite different.

I rewrote a good portion of the configuration-loading function, so when reviewing, be sure that I haven't introduced any subtle behavior changes. As a side note, it would be awesome if we could just get rid of any "bindport" options, but I know that would be hard to wrangle :)

As a side note, I noticed an odd inconsistency regarding setting the TLS and non-TLS bind addresses. The non-TLS bind address can be a hostname, but the TLS one cannot be, because it uses the built-in option parsing in tcptls.c. I did not address this because I did not want the scope of my changes to be too broad.

Testing

None. I'm not in a position at the moment to be able to test very thoroughly.


Thanks,
