RFR: 8065553: Failed Java web start via IPv6 (Java7u71 or later)

[Xuelei Fan]

Hi Rob,

Sorry, I missed this review request.  The change looks fine to me,
except a minor coding style comment.

 159            InetAddress.getByName(ipAddress)))
 160       {

Would you mind join two lines together?  We normally don't use single
line "{"".

- 159            InetAddress.getByName(ipAddress)))
- 160       {
+ 159            InetAddress.getByName(ipAddress))) {

Please add a "noreg-" tag if no plan to add a new regression test.

Thanks,
Xuelei
