[Lynx-dev] Lynx 2.8.7 and numeric IPv6 adddresses

[Andre-John Mas]

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?
