When hosting Sinopia on Windows' IIS using iisnode, iisnode provides the available port as a Windows named pipe. Node supports these, however the parse_address() function in utils.js does not. A named pipe in Windows has the format: \\.\pipe\PipeName The period specifies the local computer The pipe name string specified by PipeName can include any character other than a backslash, including numbers and special characters. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365783(v=vs.85).aspx
