Title:
Firefox cannot handle IPv6 addresses well
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug 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 "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 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://[fe80::87f4:81fa:b481:d781%2]/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>
