Issue :
We run Web Agent on Apache, when the Browser and Web Agent machines are using IPV6 Addresses, then the Apache crashes with the following stack :

How can we fix this issue ?
Environment:
Web Agent 12.52SP1CR06 64bit on Apache on RedHat;
Cause:
There was a bug in the code where we mistakenly treat some hostname as an ipv6 address since the check is wrong and we checked for all hexadecimal chars to determine if it's ipv6.
Resolution:
Upgrade the Web Agent to 12.52SP1CR07 to get benefit of the following fix :
Web Agent
00692205DE280513Web agent crashes when the machines use IPV6 addresses.
Defects Fixed in 12.52 SP1 CR07
