smb://[ff::1] which should be a valid ipv6 uri errors internally with error code 8216. Needs investigation
Looks like uri parsing is busted vis a vis ipv6. Up to smbclient 4.11.1 at least It's a bit of a problem considering ipv4 is considered legacy :| Trivial example that should stat localhost but instead comes back EINVAL. // https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.2.2 if (smbc_stat("smb://[::1]", &st) == 0) { printf("success\n"); } else { perror("smb://[::1]"); } I've also found https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=604116 which doesn't actually mention an upstream report, so I am guessing this wasn't forwarded? Also it looks like that workaround they pulled may not be nearly as easy for us. smb://::1 only works if the colons are percent encoded (otherwise that's an outright wrong uri), QUrl however is fairly strict about what it accepts for hosts and percent encoded random stuff is not part of it. We'd have to construct the smb url manually.
upstream report https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14297 To implement a workaround I think I'll first want our smburl class grow some tests. There's an uncomfortable amount of hacks without tests in there. Also, bug #204423 adds further complexity to our url handling needs.

Pushed by sitter into branch 'master'. smb: fix ipv6 support Summary: libsmbc doesn't presently support smb://[ABCD::DCBA]/ uris because it has very opinionated colon parsing. as a workaround we convert hosts that are ipv6 addresses to their windows ipv6 literal representation. that is basically s/:/-/g and s/%/s/g and appending .ipv6-literal.net.
