Martin Panter added the comment: I’m no IPv6 expert, but there seems to be a few standards:
* <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6874> (Feb 2013). Encodes as http://[fe80::1%25eth0]/; says Windows uses this form. Also mentions the unencoded http://[fe80::1%eth0]/ form. Says that the HTTP Host header should not include the scope zone identifier, since it is not necessarily relevant to the server. * <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-sweet-uri-zoneid-01> (Nov 2013). Encodes as http://[v1.fe80::1+eth0]/; says CUPS uses this form. Also acknowledges the RFC %25 form. Says that the Host header _should_ include the scope, to help with servers that send back self-referencing absolute URLs. Also, I would probably find IP.split('%', 1)[0] easier to read than a regular expression. ---------- nosy: +vadmium _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23448> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
