Failed to parse host name "2a00:8a00:4000:20c::87:0fa6": invalid port)

Trying to setup kong to connect to a cassandra cluster( IPv6 single node ).
I have setup cassandra via IPv6 address.
node02 is DB node
[root@eden0142node02 ~]# lsof -i “:8942”
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
java 30452 cassandra_kong 171u IPv6 34519627 0t0 TCP *:8942 (LISTEN)

Kong is setup in node01

proxy_listen = [::1]:8903 # Address and port on which Kong will accept
# HTTP requests.
# This is the public-facing entrypoint of

Note: See http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#listen for

a description of the accepted formats for this and other *_listen values.

admin_listen = [::1]:8902 # Address and port on which Kong will expose
# an entrypoint to the Admin API.
# This API lets you configure and manage Kong,
# and should be kept private and secured.

admin_listen_ssl = [2a00:8a00:4000:20c::87:0fa5]:8901 # Address and port on which Kong will accept
# HTTPS requests to the admin API, if
# admin_ssl is enabled.

cassandra_contact_points = 2a00:8a00:4000:20c::87:0fa6 # A comma-separated list of contact
# points to your cluster.

cassandra_port = 8942 # The port on which your nodes are listening
# on. All your nodes and contact points must
# listen on the same port.

Upon giving cassandra_contact_points as IPv6 address, kong migrations itself failed, with

Changing casandra_contact_points to hostname - eden0142node02.netact.nsn-rdnet.net, migrations worked.
But in /var/log/kong/error.log, following errors are seen( Kong service was also active )

Any help is appreciated

BTW I am using kong- 0.11.2

Dont know if its related

This was released more than 2 years ago and is not supported. I’d recommend you to upgrade.There are a lot of features that have shipped between then and now.

Will try to upgrade to any latest version. Meanwhile i tried to find the rootcause for this issue of failed to parse hostname with invalid port.
In lua-cassandra-master’s socket.lua,

function _M.tcp(...)
  local phase = get_phase()
  if not forced_luasocket_phases[phase]
     and COSOCKET_PHASES[phase]
     or forbidden_luasocket_phases[phase] then
    return ngx_socket.tcp(...)
  end

This method is called from init.lua. The problem is with this ngx_socket.tcp()
It doesnt seem to take Ipv6 host addresses.
I replaced it with

function _M.tcp(...)
  local phase = get_phase()
  
  if not forced_luasocket_phases[phase]
     and COSOCKET_PHASES[phase]
     or forbidden_luasocket_phases[phase] then
    return setmetatable({
    sock = socket.tcp6(...)
  }, proxy_mt)
  end

Only after using socket.tcp6 was i able to get rid of this problem.
Will this be solved by upgrading to latest kong along with its dependencies.

Thanks in advance
