I'll take another look at some of my common applications and see how
they
fair. I'll have to see how well they accept the numeric form, as well as
the named form.
A few problem points I have come across:
- try to connect to smb://[::1] with the Finder. This does not give
the
normal error of trying to connect to local server.
- try to connect to ftp://[::1] with the Finder. This does not give
the
normal error of trying to connect to local server. The command line
ftp client works with no issues.
- Finder accepts afp://[::1], but displays it as afp://::1/ in the
error
message.
- Safari no handling link local IPv6 address properly, for example: http://[fe80::230:65ff:fed6:b164%25en0]/ , yet I can access the
server with its IPv4 address: http://192.168.2.101/
- MacOS X's Network Utility can't handle IPv6, even for pings
- Panic's Transmit does not support IPv6 (have contacted developers)
I know most of these extend beyond Darwin into MacOS X, but since this
is the form in which most people use Darwin it is worth including. It
does show that even for a small handful of test cases IPv6 support still
has issues.
