Description Johann-Nikolaus Andreae 2010-01-10 15:16:20 UTC

Version:           4.3.90 (KDE 4.3.90 (KDE 4.4 RC1)) "release 2" (using 4.3.90 (KDE 4.3.90 (KDE 4.4 RC1)) "release 2", KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop / openSUSE_11.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop

I have tried to established a connection via IPv6 to a vnc host.
If i enter the IPv6 Adress i get the error message that the adress is invallid.

Can you please provide an example address which does not work (just to verify where it fails). Also, please post the exact error message.

Thanks.

Comment 2 Johann-Nikolaus Andreae 2010-01-11 16:52:58 UTC

The IP-Address i used is 2001:6f8:1212:1:250:22ff:fe89:9eda .
The error message is "The entered address does not have the required form".
If i use the dns-name i get the massage "Server not found".

Comment 3 Urs Wolfer 2010-01-11 22:32:29 UTC

David, do you have any ideas here? It's most probably related to KUrl parsing (at least the error; libvncclient might not support IPV6 yet).

Comment 4 David Faure 2010-01-14 10:25:40 UTC

I'm no IPv6 expert, but looking at kurltest.cpp I'd say that maybe the hostname needs to be put into brackets, as in http://[::ffff:129.144.52.38]/cgi/test.cgi

In fact, what does krdc do with the hostname exactly? (does it use KUrl::setHost, or does it concatenate strings to make up a url?)

Comment 5 Urs Wolfer 2010-09-19 17:53:15 UTC

KRDC itself handles the addresses correctly (now), but the plugins (at least vnc tested) seems not be able to handle it yet...

Comment 6 Urs Wolfer 2012-01-02 14:07:10 UTC

LibVncServer 0.9.8 supports IPv6. If you still have problems with that version, please re-open this issue.
