'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
Adding FutureFeature keyword to RFE's.
Created attachment 311568 [details] patch which adds desired feature This patch should add possibility to specify the ipv6 address as cmdline argument. e.g: $ ./lynx [::1] $ ./lynx [::1]:80
Thomas, can you please take a look at this patch and if it's ok, would you commit it to upstream?
Created attachment 405011 [details] proposed patch
will check, this evening (2.8.7 supposedly fixes this problem).
Thanks in advance! The patch applies on top of 2.8.7.
I was recalling a related but different issue: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=180654
Thank you for the link. I can confirm it works with 2.8.7. On top of that, the proposed patch makes it working without the http:// prefix.
works for me (thanks)
built as lynx-2.8.7-4.fc14 It would be great to see the patch in next release of lynx.
I have it in my ongoing changes, see ftp://invisible-island.net/temp/lynx2.8.8dev.2f.patch.gz I've been slow on dev.3 since I've been setting up a new development machine, working on ports for lynx, ncurses, vile, ded and xterm, which seem stable now...
(In reply to comment #11) > ftp://invisible-island.net/temp/lynx2.8.8dev.2f.patch.gz It seems good. Looking forward for the next snapshot and wishing good luck!

(In reply to Thomas E. Dickey from comment #13) > Comment on attachment 405011 [details] > proposed patch I believe this patch was already included in lynx2.8.8dev.15.
