Bug ID: 505525
Summary: Link-local IPv6 addresses are malformed
Classification: Applications
Product: Falkon
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Link-local IPv6 addresses can be used only in combination with a specific
ntework interface (because normal routing is not applicable in their context).
This is accomplished by appending the interface name to the address, delimited
with %. However, falkon encodes %, despite it being part of the IPv6 address.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter http://[fe80::9c33:c1fb:66b2:cb65%eth0]/ to the address bar and press
Enter.
OBSERVED RESULT
The address changes to `http://[fe80::9c33:c1fb:66b2:cb65%25eth0]/` and the
attempt to access it fails.
EXPECTED RESULT
The address to remain `http://[fe80::9c33:c1fb:66b2:cb65%eth0]/`. The % within
[] must not be altered.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Falkon Version: 24.12.3 (according to the change log, the problem should still
occur in the latest version)
Qt Version: 6.8.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you wonder why this is important, it is crucial for accessing routers, for
example.
