André - I've numbered your questions below. Here's the possible answers: (1) Probable bug in handling connections when APR library is loaded. Not sure if bug is in Tomcat or APR code. (2) Connections were most likely being tried via IPv4 only, but connectors were set up for IPv6 only. (Best I could determine from reading the thread.) (3) Local browser made connection on IPv6 because it determined that destination was to localhost and used the appropriate loopback - which turned out to be IPv6. It may have attempted the IPv4 loopback, and not getting an answer switched to the IPv6. (4) Easy - create two <Connectors>, one with address="0.0.0.0" and the other with address="[::]", and both specifying port="8080". Or drop the native library APR and just have the one connector with no address value.

Can someone explain this a little bit more in detail, or point to some rough explanation page somewhere ? Basically : (1) - why did that Tomcat 5.5.29 "listen only on IPv6" until it was forced to IPv4 by specifying "0.0.0.0" in the Connector ? (2) - why, when Tomcat is listening (only) on IPv6 [::]:8080, does it not accept telnet connections on port 8080 ? (3) - why, when Tomcat was listening (only) on IPv6 [::]:8080, did HTTP:8080 connections from a browser on localhost work, but not the ones from other stations ? (4) - can you set Tomcat to listen on /both/ IPv4 and IPv6 on port 8080 at the same time ? Thanks for any pointers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org ******************************* NOTICE ********************************* This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
