Yes, I know that ping works with a different syntax, that is a pain.
Hmm, here the syntax is exactly the same:
ping office38.local.net
"ping" defaults to ipv6 for hosts with ipv6 addresses, but you can of course force it to ipv4 / ipv6 with -4 / -6
It is all about link local addresses which is a limitation of glibc (and using scoped IPv6 literal in the browser address bar is not supported by current RFCs). https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/174767/ipv6-scope-id-in-etc-hosts https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14413 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700999
