Another different issue is that browsers have removed support for link-local addresses, such as <http:///[FE80::21E:BFF:FE08:4CCB%eth0]>, for security reasons, even if such an address is supported by the RFCs and thus should work. They are thinking of changing that RFC, but still, after about a decade, they have not decided how. People that need it resort to Firefox 6, which supports it.
That is <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700999>.
It's quite possible I am confused... It happens all the time.
But that doesn't change the fact that link-local is NOT allowed to traverse a router or the internet, per the spec or, by my understanding, be used for much but automatic configuration... Like you, I don't do a lot with IPv6 though.
But I have no interest in routing them, never did :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
