I just submitted a bug and proposed fix: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694185
According to the instructions at http://xmlsoft.org/bugs.html, I'm supposed to notify this list. I apologize if this wasn't necessary. >From the bug description: > RedHat Bug 624626 discusses the new behavior of libxml regarding brackets > around IPv6 addresses. In earlier versions such as 2.6.27, uri.c stripped the > brackets (e.g. uri->server == "fdf2:1e39:73d1:934e::119"); in the current > version it returns IPv6 addresses with brackets intact (e.g. uri->server == > "[fdf2:1e39:73d1:934e::119]"). > > Thus in 2.9.0, xmlCtxtReadFile() has a problem when it is passed a URL > containing a literal IPv6 address. xmlCtxReadFile() and its subroutines pass > uri->server unchanged to getaddrinfo(), which doesn't recognize a bracketed > IPv6 address, so the read fails. In the sample program attached, it returns: > > error : No such file or directory > I/O warning : failed to load external entity > "http://[fdf2:1e39:73d1:934e::119:4567/Manifest.xml"; > The attached patch strips the brackets from the uri->server value, and allows > the sample program to execute without error.
