What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile mongoose with USE_IPV6
2. Compile linux kernel without IPv6 support
3. Run mongoose under this kernel
Right now, application fails to start with
'set_ports_option: cannot bind to <PORT>: Bad File Number.
'Bad file number' is due to closesocket(-1), which should be moved after cry(),
since it modifies errno.
In this environment, mongoose should try to fall back to IPv4.
For example, when 'sock = socket(so.lsa.sa.sa_family, SOCK_STREAM, 6)' fails,
call should be retried with
so.lsa.sa.sa_family = AF_INET;
so.lsa.sin.sin_port = so.lsa.sin6.sin6_port;
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
mongoose from git trunk, Linux kernel 2.6.29 without IPv6 support.
Impact: Android 2.x kernels are compiled without IPv6 support. Making universal
binary which runs on every platform and optionally uses IPv6 is impossible
right now.
Mentioned code is located near mongoose.c:4396.
