Description

See https://github.com/centricular/gstwebrtc-demos/issues/120

Pretty standard usage of ws connecting to wss://webrtc.nirbheek.in:8443 via async_connect().

What happens here is that it resolves to 2a01:7e00::f03c:91ff:feae:244 and 176.58.110.251, tries the first, gets connection refused and does not even try the next one.

Research direction

Start at sendrecv/gst-rust/src/main.rs around the async_connect() call at lines 799-802, then trace how the wss://webrtc.nirbheek.in:8443 address is resolved and attempted. Check the connection path for handling multiple DNS results; done means a refused first result does not prevent trying the next available address.
