2018-06-08 20:29:30 psl description Firefox 60.0.1 (64-bit), Ubuntu 16.04.4 amd64 Link addresses for IPv6 are tricky. IPv6 address has to be extended with network interface (zone id), to signal OS what network interface to use. When I try to connect with Firefox to following URL http://[fe80::87f4:81fa:b481:d781]/test.html it is confused. It even doesn't report an error that it cannot do that. When I enter URL with zone information, Firefox returns me "search" results, in means, it doesn't understand this syntax of IPv6 address... http://[fe80::87f4:81fa:b481:d781%enp4s0]/test.html Here is RFC describing zones, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4007 Demo with CURL, that can handle that such URLs without any problem: user@test:~$ curl http://[fe80::87f4:81fa:b481:d781]/test.html curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server user@test:~$ curl http://[fe80::87f4:81fa:b481:d781%enp4s0]/test.html <html><body>TEST</body></html> user@test:~$ curl http://[::1]/test.html <html><body>TEST</body></html> user@test:~$ curl http://[::1%lo]/test.html <html><body>TEST</body></html> Firefox 60.0.1 (64-bit), Ubuntu 16.04.4 amd64 Link addresses for IPv6 are tricky.
