A bug of httplib?

[gcn]

Hello,

The HTTPSConnection class in httplib overload the connect method of
HTTPConnection, but it can only deals with IPv4:

    def connect(self):
        "Connect to a host on a given (SSL) port."

        sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        sock.connect((self.host, self.port))
        ssl = socket.ssl(self.sock, self.key_file, self.cert_file)
        self.sock = FakeSocket(self.sock, ssl)

Is it a bug or I should use other method?

Thanks.
