What is the current status with regards to the Finder's 'connect to

Sad to say Leopard/Tiger SMB currently do not support IPv6.
I should note that, in general, there's nothing to stop a VFS plug-
in from supporting IPv6 in Connect to Server. AFP does support IPv6
and you can enter IPv6 addresses into Connect to Server, even on
10.4.x.
AFP certainly seems to work with a the IPv6 numerical address. Typing
afp://[::1]
results in an alert saying that you can't connect to the local
machine. On the other hand it is worth noting that the 'connecting to
server' window incorrectly displays the URL as afp://::1
I wonder whether VFS plugins that don't support IPv6 should throw an
exception signaling that they don't support it, or something to help
the Finder in providing a clearer error text.
