Hi,
Could I get the following change to net/nio reviewed please?
It is a general cleanup of IPv6 scope_id handling which removes
a lot of native code trickery (mostly in Linux) and simplifies the handling
of scope_ids such that:
a) when binding/connecting/sending to a link-local address on the same
machine,
it is allowed to use addresses without a scope_id. In this case, we
check local NetworkInterfaces
for the correct scope_id to use.
b) when connecting/sending to a remote link-local address, then a
scope_id must be specified
at all times.
Scope_ids should be handled consistently between net and NIO and across
all platforms now.
