Comment 4 for bug 492948

As the command

   $ nautilus smb://2001:666:2:1/sharing

leads to error message

   Could not display "smb://2001/sharing/".

it seems the parser (?) chops off everything starting from the : (maybe because the : could be the separator between name/FQDN and port?), I tried to escape the colon:

    $ nautilus smb://%3A%3A1/sharing

Alas, this leads to the same error:

   Could not find "smb:///sharing".

So, even the escaped colon (%3A) is seen as a colon and leads to a chop-off. :-(

As

  $ nautilus smb://[::1]/sharing

leads to

  Could not display "smb://[::1]/sharing/".

I don't think there is a need to escape the [ and ].

IMHO: the best solution is that Nautilus' SMB should be triggered by [ ] to use the included stuff as a litteral IPv6 address
