Works here on Yosemite/OSX:
8<-------------------------------------
<p class="error-message">Safari can’t open the page
“https://[2a02:ed8:4444::8]” because the server where this page is
located isn’t responding.</p>
------------------------------------->8

The bigger question though is why folks need RAW addresses; this magical
DNS thing is amazing, try it.

I’m seeing that. OS X 10.10 Yosemite and Version 8.0 (10600.1.25).



When I changed it to http://[2a02:0ed8:4444:0::8] it worked (inserted an extra zero at the end).

Got an “Apache is functioning normally” connection.

hi,

I see an extra s there, retry as http

ross,

that's quite weird because trying a different address already filled
with zeroes, Safari complains about the first part of the address
http://[2a02:cdc5:9715:0001:0250:56ff:fe87:0a86]

Force of habit.

Indeed, seems that that with http://... it fails.
It does not even bother to do any network actions.

Very silly that it does work for https://. Wonder what kind of bug is
causing that.

Interesting. You'll have to file a RADAR bug for that one.

They are using IPv6 thus not that uneducated ;)

On OS X 10.9.5 and Safari 7.1 (9537.85.10.17.1) I see:

[2a02:ed8:4444::8] yields "first part of its address is not valid".
[2a02:0ed8:4444::8] (change the second part) yields a webpage.
[2a02:ed8:4444:0::8] yields "first part of its address is not valid".
[2a02:0ed8:4444:0::8] (change the second part) yields a webpage.

Yes, I get that with http:// as well. With https:// it endlessly cycles
back to the "Safari can't verify the identity of the website" dialog, so
there seem to be either multiple bugs, or the same bug affecting
different code paths.

FWIW, I get the same with a 2607:: address, so it would seem that
anything that isn't 2001 is triggering the bug.

Confirmed as well.

I see downthread that someone already filed a bug for this. If there is
a URL where I can add a "me too" I'm happy to do that if it's useful.

hth,

Hi,

I ran across something similar (while I was still running 10.9) when I
tried to configure an IPv6- printer:

Yeah, posting this on twitter is useless. :) Meanwhile, it looks like
the bug pre-existed Yosemite which is interesting.

Also interesting, I just tested a ULA address and it worked.

Confirmed on Yosemite/Safari 8.

However the 2607:: address I tried already has 4 characters in each of
the first 3 sections (ala, 2607:abcd:abcd::8) so this trick doesn't
work. I also tried 2607:abcd:abcd:0:0:0:0:8 and various other
zero-padded combinations that didn't work either.
