Package: approx Version: 4.5-1 Severity: normal Tags: ipv6 When attempting to make a request to an IPv6-enabled approx installation (after applying the fix in #527397, *nudge*), attempts to use approx using an IPv6 literal (using the format described in RFC2732), doesn't work. To test this, I use:
wget -O - 'http://[fdca:8d73:456d:433c:21b:77ff:fe90:433c]:9999/debian/dists/squeeze/Release' --2011-01-20 21:43:53-- http://[fdca:8d73:456d:433c:21b:77ff:fe90:433c]:9999/debian/dists/squeeze/Release Connecting to fdca:8d73:456d:433c:21b:77ff:fe90:433c:9999... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 400 Bad Request 2011-01-20 21:43:53 ERROR 400: Bad Request. The problem, I surmise, is the Host: header that wget sends as part of it's request: GET /debian/dists/squeeze/Release HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: Wget/1.11.4 Accept: */* Host: [fdca:8d73:456d:433c:21b:77ff:fe90:433c]:9999 Connection: Keep-Alive To test this hypothesis, I setup an /etc/hosts alias to point a local name at that IPv6 address; now everything works hunky-dory OK chief: wget -O - http://approx:9999/debian/dists/squeeze/Release --2011-01-20 21:50:37-- http://approx:9999/debian/dists/squeeze/Release Resolving approx... fdca:8d73:456d:433c:21b:77ff:fe90:433c Connecting to approx|fdca:8d73:456d:433c:21b:77ff:fe90:433c|:9999... connected.
