I only just saw this thread. Two comments: 1) The IETF draft at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man- rfc6874bis/ aims to solve this problem generally, despite reluctance in the browser community.
2) I found that it was trivial to patch wget for this. See https://github.com/becarpenter/wget6/ I haven't submitted this patch formally since I'm waiting until the above draft is formally approved as an RFC, but it's open source so anybody is welcome to do the right thing... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to wget in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1566930 Title: wget does not support IPv6 address with scoped zone (RFC 4007) Status in wget package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: IMPACT: wget is not usable in the default configuration for LXD containers in Xenial Summary: A scoped zone address in the form [<address>%<interface] is not supported by wget. The default network configuration of lxd in xenial containers is to use an http_proxy address that is a scoped IPv6 address 'http://[fe80::1%eth0]:13128'. $ lxc exec test -- wget http://www.google.com Error parsing proxy URL http://[fe80::1%eth0]:13128: Invalid IPv6 numeric address. Steps to recreate: - Install lxd 2.0.0~rc8-0ubuntu5 - Launch a conatiner (lxc launch ubuntu-daily:xenial test) - lxc exec test -- wget 'http://www.google.com' These instructions use an LXD environment as an easy way to create a test environment with an IPv6 proxy using a scoped address.
