[issue1675455] Use getaddrinfo() in urllib2.py for IPv6 support

[Derek Morr]

Derek Morr <derekmorr at psu.edu> added the comment:

Question: Why does FTPHandler.ftp_open() try to resolve the hostname()? 
The hostname will be passed into connect_ftp(), then into 
urllib.ftpwrapper(), and eventually into ftplib.FTP.connect(), which is 
IPv6-aware.
