Bug 425879

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071128 Fedora/2.0.0.10-2.fc7 Firefox/2.0.0.10

Description of problem:
no IPv6 support in current version

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lynx-2.8.6-10.fc9

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ lynx [ipv6]

Actual Results:
#1
$ LANG=C lynx http://[2001::101]
Looking up [2001
Unable to locate remote host [2001.
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.
lynx: Can't access startfile http://[2001/

#2
$ LANG=C lynx [2001::101]
Alert!: Unsupported URL scheme!
lynx: Start file could not be found or is not text/html or text/plain
      Exiting...
#3
$ LANG=C lynx 2001::101
Alert!: Unsupported URL scheme!
lynx: Start file could not be found or is not text/html or text/plain
      Exiting...
#4
$ LANG=C lynx http://2001::101
Looking up 2001
Making HTTP connection to 2001
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.
lynx: Can't access startfile http://2001/


Expected Results:
#1 #2 should work as expected, eg. elinks, firefox support ipv6

elinks http://[2001::101]
elinks [2001::101]
firefox http://[2001::101]
firefox [2001::101]


Additional info:
#3 #4 afaik should not be ok for a browser cause of "ip::v6:port"

telnet and other progs are ok without the "[]"
'telnet 2001::101 80'
other progs use "-6" eg. 'nmap -6 -p80 2001::101'
other progs have a "prog6" version, eg. 'ping6 2001::101'


iirc there exist rfc-conform examples explicit for documentation,
something like  2001:db8::1 or similiar

eg. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4291
