My application uses self-hosting feature of ASP.NET Web API. NuGet package name I use is Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.SelfHost. I used following example as a base.
Following code works for me to launch host on ipv4 localhost endpoint:
WebApp.Start<Startup>("http://127.0.0.1:43666");
What do I enter if I want to specify ipv6 address? "http://[::1]:43666" does not work. Exception thrown is [reformatted]:
System.Net.HttpListenerException: The network location cannot be reached. For information

Judging by my inspection of code in reflector, the HttpAddUrlToUrlGroup
function returned error code 1232
