[issue14855] IPv6 support for logging.handlers

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

Apparently, connecting the socket is better because some systems (BSDs in particular) only report ICMP errors to connected UDP sockets. The Linux man page claims that this reporting is necessary regardless of whether the socket is connected.

I wonder what will happen under this patch if the server has both v4 and v6 connectivity, and the client supports v6, but has no connectivity (other than, say, on the local link).
