[jira] [Commented] (HTTPCLIENT-1795) Http Client does not support RFC-compliant quoted IPv6 Link-Local host literals

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1795?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16467448#comment-16467448 ]

----------------------------------------

I have some free time and would like to put this to rest.  It's been a while.  Is it still relevant? 

Thanks,

Mike

> [RFC 6874|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6874] states that, when constructing a URL with an LLv6 literal, the {{%}} sign that prefixes the ZoneID must be quoted as {{%25}}. E.g., the LLv6 address 
> {{fe80::221:b7ff:fe8a:57d5%en4}} should be specified as {{scheme://[fe80::221:b7ff:fe8a:57d5%25en4]/...}} in a URL.
> httpclient does not seem to support quoted host literals:

>                 .socketTimeout(1000)

> It appears that httpclient directly passes the host literal {{[fe80::221:b7ff:fe8a:57d5%25en4]}} to the Java standard method {{InetAddress.getAllByName(host)}}, which does not support the URL quoting that RFC 6874 prescribes.
