It looks like you're using IPv6 -- which IMO is a good thing, but not
so good for cpp-netlib. :D

This is a bug because I assumed that all servers will be using ipv4
addresses. Please file that as an issue in the issue tracker at
http://github.com/cpp-netlib/cpp-netlib/issues -- have a good one and
thanks for reporting the issue. :)

(Also, next time, please don't top-post. :) )
