Package: lynx-cur Version: 2.8.8dev.4-1 Severity: normal When an IPv6 address is given to lynx in the finger protocol, lynx will misinterpret the address. Example: lynx finger://[::1]
outputs: Alert!: Invalid port number - will only use port 79! While: lynx finger://ip6-localhost will give the desired output. It seems as if lynx interprets the :1 in [::1] as a port number, and refuses to even attempt to complete the operation. Looking at the source, it looks like lynx will do this with all other protocols it supports, such as news:// and gopher://, although these are quite difficult to test. (No IPv6 gopher servers yet, no clue about news). However, as the HTTP Parser handles the []'s separately (see line 232 to 237 of WWW/Library/implementation/HTParse.c), it doesn't share this problem, and interprets the address correctly.
