IPv6 :: "all interfaces"

I would like to know how to bind to a specified port on all IPv6 interfaces.
Simply adding a bind to :: causes an error as if the port is already in use, but ::1 (localhost) can be bound by itself, as can the device's LAN IPv6 address, if it's manually specified. But this address changes each time the device reboots, so entering it into the config file is not an option. (The :: IPv6 address is equivalent to IPv4's 0.0.0.0)
I created a topic about this in the Bug Reports section (since failing to bind to a given address seems to be a bug,) https://www.hiawatha-webserver.org/forum/topic/1826
But the topic was closed with no reason given, and so I am trying again here.
