I'm not sure which of the `:':s above you find problematic, but there's a general problem with traditional URL syntax (including ":<port>") and ipv6. I don't quite remember what the recommended solution is, but I think it's something like enclosing literal addresses in `[' and `]', analogous to the ancient address literals in rfc-822. /Niels _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
