Re: [Libvncserver-common] IPv6 support in noVNC

[Joel M. <sf....@ma...>]

Christian,

Actually, I thought I had tested this but it seems that bracket quoting the
address is working for me in Chrome 15 and Firefox 10.

In other words, this works:

http://[::1]:6080/vnc_auto.html?host=[::1]&port=6080&password=BLAH

What browser version are you seeing the problem with? And does it work for
the main URL but not the WebSocket URL?

Regards,

Joel Martin (kanaka)
