Bug #307
closedIPv6 output confusing
Description
When capturing IPv6 traffic the addresses are displayed like: 2001:bad:c0ff:33::1234:80 (fast.log, suricata.log, http.log)
This is a bit confusing since it could mean 2001:0bad:c0ff:0033:0000:0000:1234:0080 or 2001:0bad:c0ff:0033:0000:0000:0000:1234 port 80.
I think it would be better to output IPv6 address like: [2001:bad:c0ff:33::1234]:80.

Peter can you figure out how Snort does it in it's fast log output? And barnyard2. If possible I'd like to stay compatible to those.

Snort does it like:
2001:0bad:c0ff:0033:0000:0000:0000:1234:80

I guess that removes the ambiguity as well. Although I like the shorter notation much better, for compatibility we should probably use this as well.
Eric can you update the outputs accordingly?
