IPv6 address parsed as IPv4 about azure

[Fred-sun]

@barnabas-kurdi Judging from your error, it is caused by the mismatch between the IP address and port you specified（ httpx.InvalidURL: Invalid port: 'BBBB::'）. Could you please check it again? Thank you!

@barnabas-kurdi And I think this problem should not be problem of azure - azcollection this repo, and should be the problem of ansible this platform, it should be in "https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues"

@Fred-sun Thank you for your response! The thing is, I specified no address when invoking the module whatsoever, so I am not sure where and why the address is pulled from (I'm thinking the modules are using it in the API requests sent to Azure?).

The ansible.builtin.uri module (and other builtin modules) works perfectly when using the EE I built, this is why I assumed that this is not a general ansible platform problem, but an issue with the azcollection in particular. I get the same error when using any module from the collection, no matter what module arguments I try.

@barnabas-kurdi I will recheck it. thank you!

@Fred-sun I have resolved the issue: turns out the problem was not with a dual stack address, but an ipv6 address set in the no_proxy environment variable.

no_proxy=...,AAAA:BBBB::/48,...

Once I unset the variable for the module invocation, it was working fine.

I have found this same issue in the httpx repo, however it seems to have been solved in a pull request in 2023 (encode/httpx#2659) and the azure collection is using the newest version of httpx, so I am not sure what gives. It might be worth some time investment to figure out what might be causing the issue, since its source is not immediately apparent.
