[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] ipv6 TCP support

[Bertrand Baudet]

I tried the patch and it doesn't break the current implement for ipv4.
I have no way to test it with ipv6.

The patch looks ok to me, and I'm going to apply it.

For the URL part, if you want to specify a numeric IPv6,
it should be format like this:
http://[3ffe:400:100::1]:80/
where the IPv6 numeric address is inside the square braces.

I will modify the URL parser to handle that.
