Convert SockAddr to String. If the address is an IPv4-embedded IPv6 address, the IPv4 is extracted.

>>> import Network.Socket
>>> as <- getAddrInfo (Just defaultHints) (Just "example.org") (Just "http")
>>> map (showSockAddr.addrAddress) as
["93.184.216.119","93.184.216.119","2606:2800:220:6d:26bf:1447:1097:aa7","2606:2800:220:6d:26bf:1447:1097:aa7"]

Convert SockAddr to ByteString. If the address is an IPv4-embedded IPv6 address, the IPv4 is extracted.

>>> import Network.Socket
>>> as <- getAddrInfo (Just defaultHints) (Just "localhost") (Just "http")
>>> map (showSockAddrBS.addrAddress) as
["127.0.0.1","::1","fe80:0:0:0:0:0:0:1"]
