Thread:Project:Support desk/Entering an URL containing an IPv6 Global address in IP-literal format

MW version: 1.13.3 PHP: 5.2.14 MySQL: 5.0.67 URL: http://timchappell.plus.com/timswiki/index.php5/IPv6

Hi. I'm trying to enter an IPv6 global address into an HTTP link. Something like:

http://[wwww:xxx:y:zzz::2]/ipv6tcptest/index.php

Unfortunately, the following doesn't work:

/ipv6tcptest/index.php Port Scanner]

The following does work, but its unclear, at least to me, whether its valid to use %encoded reserved characters. Certainly not all browsers correctly decode the URL:

Port Scanner

Is there a better/correct way to achieve what I intend?

Thanks,

Tim.
