Description of problem: All example clients and tool for qpid accepts IPv6 addresses for brokers only in square brackets, example: [::1], but qpid-perftest, does not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qpid-tools-0.14-1.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. qpidd --auth=no & 2. qpid-perftest --count 1 -b [::1] Actual results: Cannot resolve [::1]:5672: Name or service not known (qpid/sys/posix/SocketAddress.cpp:140) Expected results: perftest should connect via IPv6 and do main function Additional info: You can supply some existing IPv6 address instead of localhost [::1]
This is a confusing issue - The -b parameter for perftest takes only an address/hostname and not a URL. Therefore you don't use the square brackets for this parameter. so "qpid-perftest -b ::1" is the correct way to give a literal IPv6 address in this case. The bracket syntax is part of the standard URL parsing logic and so is only used there. This probably needs documentation to explain the differences; or perhaps to change qpid-perftest to use a URL; or perhaps depracation of qpid-perftest as it uses the old client API in any case.
