How do you specify a link-local ipv6 address in /etc/hosts? For example, I can ping/telnet/ssh to fe80::02c0:4eff:fe07:0005%eth1, but I can't figure out how to put that address in /etc/hosts so I can access it by name.
Similarly, how do you enter an ipv6 link-local address in Firefox or Opera? curl seems to accept such an address and return the proper web page, but I can't find any interactive browser (graphical or command-line) that will accept a link-local address. So far I've tried Firefox Opera w3m links. According to RFC2732 it looks like the format should be http://[fe80::02c0:4eff:fe07:0005%eth1]:80/ But none of the browsers accept that. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
