[ruby-core:55674] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8464] IPAddr cannot parse link-local IPv6 address.

Issue #8464 has been updated by cedric.brancourt (Cedric Brancourt).


Not sure this need a fix.
The @%0@ part of the example is the scope ( zone ) and should not be part of the address.

It is appended by operating system in the textual representation of the endpoint ( for interface identification ), and format depend on the operating system.

But it is not part of the address , see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4007.txt 

This is the way I understand it. If I am right , this is not a bug.
