Just because the code was done in 2002 and probably at that time I used the old 
socket style.
No reason why it shouldn't support Ipv6 (except for the fact that you have to 
device another separator for the port number; ":" is no longer a valid symbol 
for that).

However, no much time to upgrade the code to support Ipv6 (from my part), though.
