Description Michael Peick 2013-10-22 21:05:38 UTC 
The following addresses are currently accepted by the parser:

::ffff:127.
::ffff:127...

There should be a verification in the IPv4 parser that enforces IPv4 addresses with all numbers.

Thanks!

How would the first one have worked? It seems that would fail because not enough dots have been seen. In any event, I think I fixed that now:
