Just put the address without the %iface. Then you must specify the |
| 10 |
interface in your program, for example: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
in /etc/hosts: |
| 13 |
fe80::02c0:4eff:fe07:0005 foobar |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
ping6 -I eth0 foobar |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
should work. |

% in a URL must be escaped, so you probably need to replace the % |
| 29 |
symbol with %25. Try this: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
http://[fe80::02c0:4eff:fe07:0005%25eth1]:80/ |
| 32 |

I didn't try it. Good luck. :) |
