#103 Binding all IPv6 and IPv4 sockets available

[Dusan Klinec (ph4r05)]

We are using this library in multiple services and we need them to be IPv6 ready (EMI grid services), binding all IPv4 and IPv6 PF_UNSPEC, PASSIVE sockets (0.0.0.0, ::). It was able to bind just IPv6 socket :: with IPV6_V6ONLY disabled on IPv4 mapped addresses supporting system, but this is not very usual so we decided to bind both sockets.

We are currently using gsoap-2.7.16-3 so I provide patch for both 2.7.16-3 and for 2.8.10 from SVN repo rev. 33.

I hope you find my patch useful. Maybe you will have another opinion about this, but we would appreciate including this functionality to mainstream.

patch for 2.7.16-3 version

[Dusan Klinec (ph4r05)]

To enable this it is needed to compile gsoap with -DWITH_IPV6 -DBIND_ALL_SOCKETS.

Thank you for considering this patch.
