As the docs say
"Each element of the list is a list itself, space-separated by default"

... and the general description of lists describes how to get
a colon into an item in a colon-separated list: double it.
So, by extension, this space-sep list can have items with spaces
in them, if you double the space. So you handed it a single
item of "127.0.0.1 783", which didn't turn out good as an address.


That's the logic, as far as it goes.
