change hard coding of AF_UNSPEC to user-defined address-families per repository
Some environments that return AAAA records for their IMAP servers can pose problems for clients that do not have end-to-end IPv6 connectivity for a number of reasons (e.g. policy, lack of full routing, security, etc..) Even with a fallback mechanism in place, you can still arrive at IMAP implementations that could prevent authentication from unknown IPv6 space. This in itself is not enough to fallback to IPv4 since there is an actual connection on that socket. This change is for introducing a user-defined value: [Repository imap-remote] ipv6 = no to create a preference per repository on which AF to connect to the remote server on ipv6 = yes (AF_INET6) ipv6 = no (AF_INET) unspecified = default Signed-off-by: Ebben Aries <e@dscp.org> Signed-off-by: Nicolas Sebrecht <nicolas.s-dev@laposte.net>
