HTTP lister failing with IPv6 addresses
Author: mpanwar-githubCreated May 12, 2022Updated Jul 31, 2025
I am trying to use IPv6 address with http listener but giving below error.
Starting listener at url.http://[fe80::a3fe:944b:534f:7ec%enp24s0f1]:8585 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'web::uri_exception' what(): Invalid hexadecimal digit
And used lookback address as wel.
While using address as "http://[::1]:8585"
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::wrapexceptboost::system::system_error' what(): resolve: Service not found
Your response will be much appreciated.
