I still think so, because claiming that 192.168.1.233 is not a valid
IP address is just wrong. If you say "Invalid IPv6 address:
192.168.1.233", that's something different.

Ah.

Yes, definitely. I didn't read the "v6 or v4, depending on how weborf
was compiled" as exclusive-or. Maybe something explicit along these
lines:
Must be followed by a valid IP address (v6 or v4, depending on how
weborf was compiled. If weborf is compiled for IPv6 and you want to
make it listen for an IPv4 address, prepend "::ffff:" before the
IPv4 address, i.e. use a mapped address.

In the error there was nothing about IPv6 at all, so there something
needs to be changed definitely. Maybe replace "IP" with "IPv4" or
"IPv6" depending on how it was compiled.

Not even to generally prepend ::ffff: to any IPv4 address given to -i
on the IPv6-compiled variant?
