• Issue: http.server with HTTPS fails to bind IPv6 addresses #134168

[picnixz]

@ggqlq Can you check that this works on 3.14 (not 3.15). It should work but we never know. TiA. For this one, can you check both IPv4 and IPv6?

(I forced push because I wanted the cherry-picker message (I managed to make it work))

All passed!
