I know what is going on... I contacted Stephen to figure out what
the correct behavior is for
BIO_new_accept("8008")
BIO_new_accept("*:8080")
Currently it is platform specific whether it returns an IPv4 or IPv6
socket.
The fix is that you need to add
hint.ai_family = AI_PASSIVE;
and depending on the semantic of the above hint.ai_family = AF_INET or
hint.ai_family = AF_INET6 for the above cases in BIO_get_accept_socket().
As soon as I get an answer from Stephen, I provide a patch.
Best regards
Michael
