Doc Text:	The rpm utility was unable to download and install packages the remote locations of which were specified with an IPv6 address and a specific path format. Now, rpm automatically uses the "--globoff" option with IPv6 addresses, which turns off cURL globbing, and allows packages to be properly downloaded and installed in the described scenario.

Description Marek Marusic 2015-03-04 10:17:32 UTC

This bug is also present on RHEL7
version of rpm:
rpm-4.11.1-25.el7

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1076277 +++

Clone to RPM since "rpm -ivh http://[$ipv6_addr]/pakcage_name.rpm" failed but curl support IPv6

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1075844 +++

Description of problem:
curl do not support ipv6 on RHEL6.5

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# curl -V
curl 7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.14.3.0 zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap ldaps http file https ftps scp sftp
Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. # curl -v -6 http://[2001::1]/
2.
3.

Actual results:
curl: (3) [globbing] error: bad range specification after pos 9

Expected results:
get the html from ipv6 host

Additional info:

rpm use curl to get packages from server, so it will fail if we usr "rpm -ivh http://[$ipv6_addr]/pakcage_name.rpm".

BTW, wget works well.
# wget http://[2001::1]/packages/

You need to use the -g/--globoff option.  Please read the FAQ:

Okay so curl needs --globoff to work with raw ipv6 addresses.
Severity high this is not.

See upstream commit 409fa83c94d50ab0c4849b737f2647e1069aea8b
