Public bug reported: Version 66.0.3359.181 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit)
local-link IPv6 adresses (fe80::/10) are tricky. Network interface has to be added to tell OS what interface to use (all network interfaces have address with prefix fe80::) So this is an example, simple demo that CURL can handle such address well. First, IPv6 address without interface, it fails, OS don't know what interface to use user@test:~$ curl http://[fe80::87f4:81fa:b481:d781]/test.html curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server Second, IPv6 address with interface (%enp4s0, it is NIC to local LAN). It works. user@test:~$ curl http://[fe80::87f4:81fa:b481:d781%enp4s0]/test.html <html><body>TEST</body></html> When I enter URL http://[fe80::87f4:81fa:b481:d781%enp4s0]/test.html to Chromium, I receive search from Google, that is not what I expect... Chromium cannot handle IPv6 addresses with extension for network interface. BTW, I run CURL and Chromium at the same PC ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Version 66.0.3359.181 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit) local-link IPv6 adresses (fe80::/10) are tricky.
