From: "cedric.brancourt (Cedric Brancourt)" Date: 2013-06-28T04:26:15+09:00 Subject: [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. ---------------------------------------- Bug #8464: IPAddr cannot parse link-local IPv6 address. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8464#change-40179 Author: aselder (Andrew Selder) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0p195 (2013-05-14 revision 40734) [x86_64-darwin12.3.0] Backport: 1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN 1.9.3p374 :001 > require 'ipaddr' => true 1.9.3p374 :002 > IPAddr.new("0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1%0") ArgumentError: invalid address from /Users/andrew/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p195/lib/ruby/2.0.0/ipaddr.rb:559:in `in6_addr' from /Users/andrew/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p195/lib/ruby/2.0.0/ipaddr.rb:496:in `initialize' from (irb):2:in `new' from (irb):2 from /Users/andrew/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p195/bin/irb:16:in `
