Hi,
I have just installed lynx 2.8.7dev.7 on my Mac, specifying the IPv6
option for the configuration:
./configure --enable-ipv6 --prefix=/usr/local/lynx
Everything builds and installs. I am able to connect to:
lynx "http://127.0.0.1/"
But if I specify the valid IPv6 URL, which works with Safari:
lynx "http://[::1]/"
I get the error:
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.
lynx: Can't access startfile http://[/
This would like a URL parsing issue. Can anyone confirm the problem?
lynx supports IPv6 internally - should be able to connect to a host
using DNS or a properly constructed hosts file, but doesn't
implement the literals.
(This is known - patches welcome ;-)
