This changes hapi's default host of
0.0.0.0
to use node's IPv6-friendly default host of::
or0.0.0.0
, depending on whether the machine supports IPv6.Under node v18 the drawbacks of the current default are emphasized, since DNS resolution in node has changed (nodejs/node#39987) allowing
localhost
to resolve to the IPv6 address::1
— since0.0.0.0
was pinned to IPv4, a request tolocalhost
from node would not be able to connect to a default hapi server.
