Bug#614948: rt-mailgate(1) doesn't support IPv6, too

[Ivan Shmakov]

	One more program that is affected by this bug is rt-mailgate
	from rt3.8-clients:

# echo test \
      | (cd / && su www-data -c '/usr/bin/rt-mailgate \
                                     --debug --action=correspond \
                                     --queue=General \
                                     --url="https://ipv6.google.com/rt/"') 
/usr/bin/rt-mailgate: temp file is '/tmp/1q919srzpU'
/usr/bin/rt-mailgate: connecting to https://ipv6.google.com/rt//REST/1.0/NoAuth/mail-gateway
An Error Occurred
=================

500 Can't connect to ipv6.google.com:443 (Bad
hostname 'ipv6.google.com')

/usr/bin/rt-mailgate: undefined server error
# 

	A similar error is signalled should https://[::1]/rt/ (i. e.,
	ip6-localhost) be used for an URI.

	Strangely enough, https://ip6-localhost/rt/ works, yet Apache's
	access.log shows that rt-mailgate(1) connects over IPv4 instead
	of IPv6.
