to make it work, one must comment out or remove the following in bitcoinrpc.cpp:
acceptor->open(endpoint.protocol());
acceptor->set_option(boost::asio::ip::tcp::acceptor::reuse_address(true));
// Try making the socket dual IPv6/IPv4 (if listening on the "any" address)
boost::system::error_code v6_only_error;
acceptor->set_option(boost::asio::ip::v6_only(loopback), v6_only_error);
acceptor->bind(endpoint);
acceptor->listen(socket_base::max_connections);
RPCListen(acceptor, context, fUseSSL);
// Cancel outstanding listen-requests for this acceptor when shutting down
StopRequests.connect(signals2::slot<void ()>(
static_cast<void (ip::tcp::acceptor::*)()>(&ip::tcp::acceptor::close), acceptor.get())
.track(acceptor));
// If dual IPv6/IPv4 failed (or we're opening loopback interfaces only), open IPv4 separately
if (loopback || v6_only_error)
then it does:
