Hello,

When running the below code snippet, a MongoException is thrown.

final String host = "[2604:fe00:3:1103:250:56ff:fe98:c831]";

ServerAddress address = new ServerAddress(host, 27017);
System.out.println(address.getHost());

MongoClient client = new MongoClient(host);

This is a valid IPV6 address.

Any help would be appreciated. I have tried many different ways of instantiating the client, they all fall back to the same process.

• Make ServerAddress using host string.
• Pass to MongoClient.
• Attempt MongoClient Construction using address.
• Exception thrown.

The exception is:

com.mongodb.MongoException: host and port should be specified in host:port format
