New issue 447 by LukeDuns...@gmail.com: Allow IPv6 address literals
http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/issues/detail?id=447
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start ConnectBot
2. Select Telnet mode
3. Enter the following address: [fe80::21b:77ff:fe2c:b690]:22
Q: What is the expected output?
A: I expect it to add the host to the list, and at least attempt to connect.
Q: What do you see instead?
A: Instead, it rejects the address as invalid.
Q: What version of the product are you using?
A: Version 1.7.1
Q: What type of system are you trying to connect to?
A: In the above example it is a Linux PC but this is irrelevant.
I attempted to modify ConnectBot to fix this problem, but unfortunately
this was not possible because android.net.Uri does not support IPv6 address
literals in URIs :-(. This means that unless ConnectBot avoids using the
Android Uri class, we probably have to wait for Google to fix it.
