The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6874, "Representing IPv6 Zone Identifiers in Address Literals and Uniform Resource Identifiers".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6874&eid=3630 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Michael Sweet <msw...@apple.com> Section: 3 Original Text ------------- Such bare "%" signs are for user interface convenience, and need to be turned into properly encoded characters (where "%25" encodes "%") before the URI is used in any protocol or HTML document. However, URIs including a ZoneID have no meaning outside the originating node. It would therefore be highly desirable for a browser to remove the ZoneID from a URI before including that URI in an HTTP request. Corrected Text -------------- Such bare "%" signs are for user interface convenience, and need to be turned into properly encoded characters (where "%25" encodes "%") before the URI is used in any protocol or HTML document. HTTP Clients MUST include a ZoneID in any URIs provided in an HTTP request since HTTP Servers will need it when generating URIs, otherwise the IPv6 address will not be routable. Notes ----- The original advice ignores a very real issue: HTTP Servers that generate URIs from the client's Host: need to include the Client's zoneid in order for the link local address to be usable/routable. Instructions: ------------- This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected.
