aiohttp client does not support ipv6 addresses #559

@mx2323

Description

@mx2323

attempting to get a webpage from an ipv6 address doesnt appear to work in aiohttp 0.17.4

when i run the ipv6 address through curl it works.

i also tried the ipv4 address through the aiohttp client and that worked as well.

http://[::1]:9001/foo fails with the following exception
**
socket.gaierror: [Errno -9] Address family for hostname not supported
**

 Cannot connect to host ::1:9001 ssl:False http://[::1]:9001/foo
Traceback (most recent call last):

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/aiohttp/connector.py", line 292, in connect
    transport, proto = yield from self._create_connection(req)
