Bug Description
IMPACT: wget is not usable in the default configuration for LXD containers in Xenial
Summary: A scoped zone address in the form [<address>
$ lxc exec test -- wget http://
Error parsing proxy URL http://[fe80::
Steps to recreate:
- Install lxd 2.0.0~rc8-0ubuntu5
- Launch a conatiner (lxc launch ubuntu-daily:xenial test)
- lxc exec test -- wget 'http://
These instructions use an LXD environment as an easy way to create a test environment with an IPv6 proxy using a scoped address.
RFC 4007 : https:/ /www.ietf. org/rfc/ rfc4007. txt lists.gnu. org/archive/ html/bug- wget/2009- 06/msg00000. html
Discussion upstream : http://
Attaching a POC patch from upstream mailing list to demonstrate the fix, but it is hackish.
