Hi Mr. Nottingham et. al I never came across this and had assumed due to no luck and trouble with syntax that IPv6 literals were not supported in URLs. I think HTTP engineer types will naturally run into this and may not look elsewhere than 'httpbis' and RFC3986 URL scheme for this kind of information. I found RFC2732 which specifically addresses IPv6 literals and this works with my firefox browser and also with curl (must specify -g to avoid parsing error). http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2732.html I don't propose exactly WHERE, but I would consider putting some mention of IPv6 literal URL scheme into the 'httpbis' for such HTTP engineers to more easily find, because it is the place they will most naturally look. Thanks! Dale Anderson
