Title:
  http.request does not support ipv6-formatted ipv4 addresses

Status in Django:
  Unknown
Status in python-django package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in python-django source package in Xenial:
  New

Bug description:
  
  SRU Template

  [Impact]

    * django-python is unable to use ipv6 formatted ipv4 addresses. 
  For example, Addresses of the form "::ffff:169.254.169.254" are perfectly valid, but not supported. This package is a dependency of maas and openstack among others, thus will limit deployments.

    * The upstream fix is available, simple, and provides an updated
  testcase to cover and regress-test.

  [Test Case]

   * The updated unit test case is probably the simplest way to verify.
   * See tests/README.rst: Updated test case will fail without the accompanied fix.

  OK

  [Regression Potential]

   * Low potential for regression as host regex becomes more permissive.
   * Full unit test additionally run to ensure no new failures.

  [Other Info]

   * Backported from upstream with no modifications required.
